Isle Of Barra
Barra is an island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, and also the second southernmost populated island there, after the nearby island of Vatersay to which it is linked by a brief embankment. The island is named for Saint Finbarr of Cork. In 2011, the population was 1,174. Gaelic is commonly spoken, as well as at the 2011 Census, there were 761 Gaelic speakers (62% of the population). The Isle of Barra is about 60 km2 (23 sq mi) in area, 11 miles (18 kilometres) long and also 6 miles (10 kilometres) broad. A single-track road, the A888, runs around the coastline of the southern part of the island complying with the flattest land and offering the many coastal negotiations. The inside of the island right here is uneven and also unoccupied. The west as well as north of the island has white sandy coastlines containing sand developed from marine coverings adjoining the grassed machair, while the south eastern side has many rough inlets. To the north a sandy pensinsula goes to the coastline flight terminal as well as Eoligarry.
