Seen from near the lighthouse. Sotan is a couple of metres higher than the lighthouse, and the highest point of the island.

Sloc na Sealbhaig

This inlet is at the foot of the 180m cliffs to the south east of the lighthouse. Just round the cliffs is Barra Head, the most southerly point on Berneray, which is the most southerly island in the Outer Hebrides (not on Barra at all).

GÃ¨arum Beag - Sphinx-like rock

This rock feature looks to me as though Marty Feldman had posed for a Scottish version of the Sphinx.

Berneray (Barra Head) - western promontories

There are many islands in the Hebrides with the name 'Berneray' or 'Bernera' - this one is the southernmost of all the islands of the Outer Hebrides and is more commonly known as 'Barra Head' (not to be confused with the island of Barra itself, some way to the north). NL5480 : Barra Head Lighthouse can be seen perched atop the promontory.

Barra Head Lighthouse

The lighthouse on Barra Head was constructed in 1833 by the famous lighthouse designer Robert Stevenson. At 208m (682') focal height it has the most elevated light of all Scottish (and probably UK) lighthouses, though the tower itself is only 18m (59') It had resident lighthouse keepers up until its automation on 23rd October 1980 Wikipedia article here: Link

Pier At Berneray/Bearnaraigh

Thirteen Marilyn baggers were dropped of at this rather slippy pier to explore this lovely island of Berneray/Bearnaraigh. This pier helped service the lighthouse.
