The Isle of Berneray community website (www.isleofberneray.com) was launched on the 3rd of May, 2005. The website contains information on how to visit Berneray and what to do on it once you are there. It also provides a one-stop place for details of all accommodation, businesses and services on the island. The centrepiece of the website is a gallery of pictures of life on the island.
