Bragar

Bragar (Scottish Gaelic: Bhràdhagair, pronounced [braːgər]) is a village on the west side of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, 14 miles (23 kilometres) from the island's only town, Stornoway.

The village's best-known landmark is a whalebone arch, made in 1921 from the jawbone of an 80-foot-long (24-metre) blue whale which was beached on the shore the year before.

The arch is located at the Lakeview residence, the home of Murdo Morrison (1867–1950).

The remains of a chapel, Teampall Eòin (the Temple of John the Baptist), built in the 15th century or earlier,[4] lie inside a walled compound.

[5] Roderick Morison, the retained harper to Clan MacLeod at Dunvegan Castle, was born in Bragar in 1656.
