Berneray: somewhere to consider cycling to

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
Outer Hebrides is a very popular cycling route (130 miles from end to
end), offering very quiet roads, zero pollution, virtually deserted
landscapes and some of the best beach and coastal scenery in the world.

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.
