Burravoe, (Old Norse: Borgavagr - Broch Bay), is a community in the south east part of Yell, on the north shore of Burra Voe, in the Shetland Islands
The most notable building is The Old Haa Museum which dates from 1672. On 19th January 1942, a Catalina airplane crashed on the hill above Burravoe. 7/10 of her passengers were killed, and one of the propellers can be seen outside the Old Haa Museum.[1]
