Borve (Scottish Gaelic: Borgh) is a village on the west side of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, 17 miles (27 kilometres) from the island's only town, Stornoway.
The older bridge, built of stone rubble and consisting of a single arch, dates from the late 19th century and is no longer used for road traffic.
[4][5] About 1⁄2 mile (800 metres) north of Melbost Borve stand the ruins of the pre-Norse broch Dun Bhuirgh.
The original fort was circular in shape with an internal diameter of 30 feet (9 metres) and walls 11 ft (3.4 m) thick.
Braving the horrendous weather, with winds gusting up to 100 mph (160 km/h; 45 m/s), local men got a breeches buoy onto the vessel and rescued all 66 crew members.
