What do we do?Berneray Historical Society is an active community group based on the island of Berneray in the Sound of Harris in the Outer Hebrides off Scotland's northwest coast.
Our role is to promote an interest in the history and culture of the people of Berneray, and especially its Gaelic language. Since being re-formed in 2003, we have run a number of projects which have helped us to research, organise, digitise and present a vast amount of information relating to the history of the island. Much of this information is accessible via our base in The Nurse's Cottage Visitor Centre on the island. This facility is open to visitors during the summer months and by special appointment only at other times. We are run by a small voluntary management committee and we welcome membership from anyone with an interest in the history of the island. Currently we have members locally, elsewhere in Scotland and all over the world, including countries where Berneray people settled in times gone by, such as Canada and Australia. We have regular Society meetings, which all of our members are entitled to attend, and we also hold special events from time to time, such as historical themed ceilidhs and conferences relating to particular projects or themes. To find out about membership, please get in touch with us, using the contact details below. This is a new website, to which we will be adding more information in the coming weeks. For now, we are just including information about our most recent project A' Cumail Ar n-Eachdraidh Beò, as well as latest news, but we plan to add new sections, so please come back and visit us regularly!
