About Isle of Berneray

Berneray is one of the 15 inhabited islands in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, situated between Harris and North Uist in the Sound of Harris. A small island measuring just 2 by 3 miles, Berneray is home to a strong, friendly community, offering peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. The coastline has some incredible beaches which could rival the Mediterranean, with bright blue waters and immaculate white sand. Also, the vast coastal plains are scattered with fascinating historic sites including a Pictish burial cairn and a Neolithic standing stone, so there’s plenty to see and do on this tranquil island. Berneray’s port is on the south coast, sitting just off the causeway that links the island with North Uist. From there, you can sail across to Leverburgh on Harris with multiple sailings provided every day.

About Island of Harris

The Isle of Harris is the southern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Harris is more mountainous than Lewis and so it’s a great hiking destination and ideal for nature lovers. It’s also famous for its namesake tweed, which can be bought in the popular village of Tarbert, the island’s main settlement. The coastline has some incredible beaches, most notably the West Harris sands where you can gaze out to the uninhabited island of Taransay, giving you a true sense of peaceful isolation. The Isle of Harris is a useful gateway to the Isle of Berneray immediately to the south. From the ferry terminal in Leverburgh, there are multiple sailings every day across to Berneray’s southern coast.
