About Bornais

Bornais is a small settlement located on the island of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, within the council area of Na h-Eileanan an Iar. It lies to the west of the main village of Tarbert, accessible via a narrow road that runs along the coast. The area is characterised by its rugged coastal landscape, with rocky shores and views across the Atlantic Ocean. The community is small, with a mix of traditional crofting homes and more modern dwellings. The local population is engaged in a range of activities, including fishing and crofting, and there is a strong sense of cultural continuity in the area. The postcode HS8 covers the wider Harris region, and the settlement is part of the wider Scottish island network.
