Berneray, North Uist, Scotland
Berneray (Scottish Gaelic: Bheàrnaraidh) is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, north of North Uist. It should not be confused with Great Bernera, near Lewis.
The island is linked to Otternish on North Uist by a causeway and it has a population of around 120 people. It is known as the birthplace of the giant Angus MacAskill and for its sandy beaches backed with sand dunes.
Berneray is separated from Harris and Lewis by the Sound of Harris, a treacherous channel of water containing many small islands and rocks.
