Visitor Information Centre at The Nurse's Cottage : Ionad-fiosrachaidh
The Nurse's Cottage, situated just past the harbour, is home to Berneray Historical Society. Visit the Historical Society website at www.bernerayhistorical.com.
During the summer months the centre is staffed by local volunteers and is open to the public. The building includes extensive historical displays containing information about Berneray. Many aspects of the life and history of Berneray feature on our display boards, from tales of 18th century villainy to the life story of Giant MacAskill and the opening of the island causeway in 1999. There is something of interest for everyone.
The building also houses a visitor information centre, to help you make the most of your visit to the island and find out, for instance, where you can see seals and have the best chance of perhaps glimpsing an otter.
At the Cottage you will find a range of books, leaflets and postcards to buy, referring both to the history and the natural history of the island.
There is ample parking.
Whether you are researching your family history or just want to know what time the next bus is, please call in for more information or a chat.
Admission is free. Any donations go to support the work of Berneray Historical Society.
