Mirrie Dancers Comes to Burra


We've given a little Mirrie Dancers surprise illumination to folk living in the South End of Burra Isle! Thanks to everyone who worked their socks off to complete in one day what we usually do in five, we have new illuminations completed before Martin and Sharon fly home on Sunday.

Our guest lighting designers have translated their idea for an illumination at the former listening post (as originally planned) to two buildings in Burra - Easthouse, an old crofthouse which the Burra History Group has purchased and restored, and the old Haa, the derelict Laird's house that lies directly opposite in Houss, East Burra. These buildings are "speaking" to each other now in a way I imagine they never would have done in the past. One light in their window pulses morse code, a poem written by James Sinclair, Under Northern Skies.
