Brough is a settlement in western Whalsay in the parish of Nesting in the Shetland islands of Scotland.[1] It lies to the southwest of Challister, northeast of New Park, and north of Tripwell. To the north is Kirk Ness, and Whalsay Parish Church.

Historically, fishing has been the main source of income in Brough.[2] There is a burnt mound in the south of the village and an old horizontal mill which first appeared on an 1882 map.[1][3]
