  • Great Bernera, Isle of Lewis (Best Watch in full 1080 HD)
    Great Bernera is an island in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. With an area of just over 21 km2 (8.1 sq mi), it is the thirty-fourth largest Scottish island.
    Great Bernera lies in Loch Roag on the north-west coast of Lewis and is linked to it by a road bridge. Built in 1953, the bridge was the first pre-stressed concrete bridge in Europe. It was constructed after islanders threatened to dynamite the hillside to create a causeway of their own making.
    The main settlement on the island is Breaclete. Breaclete is home to a small museum, school, a post office, church, community centre with cafe, petrol station, fire station, doctor's surgery and a childrens playpark.
    Bernera is also known for its Iron Age settlement at Bosta, discovered in 1993 and now covered by sand to preserve it. A replica Iron Age house matching those now buried is sited nearby. The house is open for visitors throughout the summer months.
    Bosta Beach is made from sparkling white shell sand. This popular beach has good views of the cliff bounds islands of Outer Loch Roag, notably Little Bernera, Flodday, Bearsay, the Old Hill and Campay. Campay is pierced by a natural tunnel about 120 meters long.
    Callanish VII is a unique standing stone arrangement near the bridge between Lewis and Bernera, set out in a semicircle. It is known locally as Tursachan, which means merely "Standing Stones". The ruins of Dun Barraglom broch are nearby Bostadh
    The Bernera Riot took place in 1872, and occurred as a reaction to heavy-handed evictions and treatment by the factor of Sir James Matheson, Donald Munro. The islanders refused to send their livestock over to Lewis, and were in turn threatened with a military visit. This did not occur, but even more eviction notices were handed out, and the visitors were pelted with clods of earth.
    A cairn was situated in the centre of Bernera in 1992 to commemorate the Bernera Riot of 1874.
    Great Bernera hosts numerous sea bird species, including gulls, waders and ducks such as Goldeneye, and much wild life.
    Little Bernera lies between the sea lochs of West and East Loch Roag, immediately to the north of Great Bernera.

    Beautiful. We only spent a few hours there in 2019, I've thought about it everyday since.

    Awesome, so looking forward to seeing what the Outer Hebrides has to offer. I will be touring using caravan sites as a base. Still not quite sure whether or not to travel South to North or vice versa, think I will just toss a coin as I will have no one else to consider. Roll on the first of May.
    Thank you so much for sharing 👋👋👋👋

    Absolutely excellent, up there with the very best of your work. Loved the bent horizons, the intimate cameos of wildlife and nature, and all with an ending to die for. More please!!

    What a lovely video. I went with my husband to Great Bernera in 2006. It was a gorgeous day. The sand was hot and I had a swim. This is a beautiful place. Thanks for the memories.

    Beautiful high quality video of a very special location - I once lived at Ungeshader, Little Loch Roag, Uig, back in the early 1980s, so this really brings back the memories of what were the best years of my life - I hope to return to Uig/Bernera in the next few years!

    You are really a talented videographer! Very well done composition and editing wise. Glad to see you invested in better gear for your more recent videos - the lens distortion and compression artifacts really destroy a lot of the flair of the video...

      Hi, anytime so long as it’s dark enough. It’s not normally dark enough over the summer months so autumn and winter is best!
