The population of
Boreray in the Sound of Harris reached 152 in 1891, but by 1923 all residents, bar one family, were evacuated by request. For almost 40 years - from the 1960s - it was uninhabited, although from 1999 it has had one permanent resident,
Jerry Cox. See more of the island through
Marc Calhoun's website, including a photograph of Boreray in the St Kilda group taken from this 489-acre island.
