	Berneray Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Berneray and nearby uninhabited Pabbay lie in the Sound of Harris between North Uist and Harris.
		It shouldn't be confused with the other Berneray that is the most southerly island in the chain of the Western Isles, complete with another Pabbay lying (fairly) close to it.
		All Berneray's settlement is on the east side of the island because the west side is given over entirely to machair.

	Outer Hebrides - Barra and Benbecula
		To the southern end of the Outer Hebrides, Barra is only eight miles long by four miles wide but nevertheless supports a population of around 1300.

		Barra Head Lighthouse was converted to automatic operation, and the last of the lightkeepers were withdrawn on 23 October 1980.

	barra head1
		The first time we sailed south of Barra, we landed on Mingulay and did the round of hills on the island.
		Berneray was a fine sight to the south, and an obvious target for a pair of island baggers and nascent ‘relative’ tickers.
		Wind and water were not favourable for a landing that year, although it was temptingly close, and we headed to Pabbay for the night, with thoughts of maybe an early morning trip ashore.
