Located on Bressay, off the east coast of mainland Shetland, Cullingsburgh Broch is situated on an elevated area of ground overlooking the Bay of Cuppa on the east coast of the island.

The later (now ruined) church of St. Mary was likely built of stones mined from it.

[2] The Pictish Bressay Stone was found near St. Mary's Church in 1852.

[3][4] The inscription is reported to be a memorial for the daughter of a chieftain.

[5] The Bressay Stone is now on display in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, however a replica of the stone is located inside the cemetery.
