South Havra
South Havra (Scots: Sooth Haevra; Old Norse: Hafrey), formerly Hevera, is an uninhabited island in the Scalloway Islands, Shetland, Scotland.
South Havra lies south of Burra and west of the southern peninsula of the Mainland.
The island's rock is "epidiotic syenite with undifferentiated schist and gneiss."
The soil is fairly fertile, but the lack of running water meant that, unusually for Shetland, the islanders resorted to building a windmill to grind corn.
Geological features on the island include caves and natural arches.
Little Havra is to its west.
Olaf Sinclair, foud (a kind of magistrate) of all Shetland lived here in the 16th century.
The island's ruined windmill is an unusual sight in the Shetland Islands, especially as some have pointed out, that the Dutch were amongst the archipelago's most frequent visitors.
