The name Burgar is associated with a number of locations on Mainland in the Orkney Islands. These include the town of Burgar, Burgar Hill, Burgar Röst, and the Broch (Brough) of Burgar all located on the North West of the island. The Broch of Burgar has been associated with the Burgar Hoard, a stash of Pictish silver and amber and Viking gold found and lost in the 19th Century. More information...
