Boreray, Saint Kilda

Boreray (Scottish Gaelic language Boraraigh) is an uninhabited island in the Saint Kilda archipelago (British Isles, county Isle of Harris) in the North Atlantic, about 66 km west-north-west of North Uist. The National Trust for Scotland is the current owner. Boreray covers about 86.5 ha, and reaches a height of 384 m. Its cliffs are home for various seabirds.

There are two stacs, vertical pillars of rock, just off Boreray. Stac An Armin, 400 m to the north, is the taller at 196 m high, while Stac Lee, 600 m west, is 172 m high.
