From 1845 to 1877 copper mining brought prosperity to the area round Burra (pop. 1200), which has preserved evidence of its past in the form of miners' cottages, mine buildings and chimneys. Burra is now the center of a sheep-farming area.
The town features a courthouse, police lockup and Bon Accord Mine buildings (museum).
