HistoryWithin the parish are a number of prehistoric features, including Gurness, an Iron Age broch that overlooks Eynhallow Sound.[2] EconomyEvie is home to two large dairy farms called Dale and Georth as well as Burgar farm. There are also a few beef farms. This is due to the very good quality of soil contained in this area of Orkney. All three dairy farms contribute milk to the award-winning Orkney cheese as well as Orkney ice cream and other dairy products.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} Burgar Hill Wind FarmThe five wind turbines on Burgar Hill in Evie are visible from a large part of the West Mainland.
