Berneray, Barra, Scotland



         


Barra Head, also known as Berneray, is the southernmost of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Within the Outer Hebrides, it forms part of the Barra Isles archipelago.

Originally, Barra Head only referred to the southernmost headland of Berneray, on which its lighthouse is located, but is now the most common name for the entire island.

The island has been uninhabited since the 1950s, with the exception of its lighthouse keepers. The lighthouse is now automated and the island completely abandoned. It is also known for its large seabird colony.
