Die Churchill Barriers sind vier Dämme, die der britische Premierminister Winston Churchill im Zweiten Weltkrieg auf den Orkney-Inseln errichten ließ, um die in der Bucht von Scapa Flow liegende britische Home Fleet besser vor weiteren Angriffen von U-Booten der deutschen Kriegsmarine zu schützen. Am 14. Oktober 1939 hatte dort U 47 das Schlachtschiff HMS Royal Oak versenkt, wobei 833 Mann ums Leben kamen. Die Dämme verbinden das Mainland mit South Ronaldsay über die Inseln Lamb Holm, Glimbs Holm und Burray.
