Boreray from Rubha Bhoisnis Looking across to the buildings on Boreray from Rubha Bhoisnis on Berneray. Signs of habitation on the island with two houses that look weatherproof, plus a red tractor and dinghy with outboard motor, neither of which are likely to be of much use to the dozens of small white specs which are grazing sheep.
