Boreray, North Uist

Boreray (Scottish Gaelic: Boraraigh) is an island with a single croft, lying 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Over-cultivation and the collapse of the kelp trade brought a gradual decline in the population.

In 1999, the present crofter started rebuilding work and remains the island's sole regular inhabitant.

[7] The single croft forms the north-east part of the island.

The grazing rights for the remainder are leased to the crofters of the nearby island of Berneray.
