BERNERAY, or BARNERA, an island within the island of Lewis, on its western side. Loch Bernera, Loch Burglow, and Loch Roag, inlets of the sea, inclose a piece of beautiful fertile land, of about twelve miles in length by four in breadth; and this is called the island of Bernera. The above arms of the sea are crowded with small islands, one of which is called Little Bernera, and indents the main-land of Lewis with long salt-water lochs. On the Great Bernera there exists a tolerably entire circle of large upright stones, similar to those of Stonehenge, and supposed to be of druidical origin. There are also two other islands of the same name; one in the Sound of Harris, about five miles in circumference, which is fertile, and contains the ruins of two chapels, severally dedicated to St Asaph and St Columbus; the other is the most southerly of the Hebrides, and is small and rocky.
