Papil, is a small settlement in the south end of the island of West Burra, at the sheltered northern end of West Voe.
The churchyard at Papil is where the pictish symbol stone, known as the Papil Stone, was found in 1877, and also where the Burra Monk's Stone was unearthed in 1943.
To the left are the houses of Duncansclett. In front of Papil is the water of West Voe, and in the foreground Houss Ness and Clift Sound.
Just visible, at the top of the picture, is the south coast of the west Mainland.
