Papa Stour is one of the Shetland Islands in Scotland, with a population of around thirty people, many of whom have immigrated since an appeal for residents in the 1970s. The main settlement on the island is Biggings , from which ferries sail to West Burrafirth on the Shetland Mainland. An airstrip also lies nearby.

Attractions on the island include remains of a thirteenth century house which belonged to Duke Haakon , and the dramatic coastline, with sea stacks, arches, blowholes and sea caves such as Christie's Hole .
