Boreray (
Scottish Gaelic language Boraraigh) is an uninhabited
island in the
St 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 at
Mullach an Eilein. Its
cliffs are home for various
seabirds. In 1959, 45,000 pairs of
gannets were counted on Boreray and the two stacks. There are also over 130 different varieties of flowering plant on the island.
There are two
sea stacks, 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 to the west, is 172 m high.
