Little Bernera
Little Bernera (Scottish Gaelic: Beàrnaraigh Beag) is a small island situated off the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.The island has evidence of continuous settlement for centuries notably in the remains of former dwellings and chapels.Following the clearance of the island the only habitable building as noted on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey was the slated fish curing-house.A few centuries ago, the island was the place where people of Carloway were buried, before a cemetery was built in that village.There is a folk story that a Norse king, Swain, took Gealchos, the daughter of a young priest, from Tràigh an Teampaill to Norway, but her heart broke mourning for Little Bernera, so he brought her back.
