Many people in Canada, Australia and other countries are descended from people who emigrated from (in some cases evicted during the clearances) the Scottish highlands and islands. One such island, in the Outer Hebrides off Scotland, is Berneray.
The Isle of Berneray community website is online at www.isleofberneray.com
Content has been provided by many Berneray residents and groups. The website contains details of 9 resident groups (some with minutes of meetings), over 20 businesses, and information on how to get here and what to do on Berneray.
The website also carries information on 7 different places to stay in Berneray, as well as a selection of historical and contemporary island pictures and scenes.
The website will grow with more content over the summer; the website maintainers are especially looking forward to capturing pictures of the sheepdog trials, and Berneray week, in July.
