Lairo Water is a surface water body known as an ayre situated on the western coast of Shapinsay in the Orkney Islands.[1] This brackish water body is separated by a narrow bar of land from Veantro Bay. This wetland is an area where a variety of bird species may be found.[2] Hogan has suggested that the Lairo Water may have been a source of subsistence food for prehistoric inhabitants of Shapinsay at Burroughston Broch.[3]
