Breaclete
Breaclete (or Roulanish)〔(Hebridean Connections )〕 ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Brèaicleit)) (Old Norse: ''Breiðiklettr'') is the central village on Great Bernera in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Breaclete is within the parish of Uig.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Details of Breaclete )〕 Despite the fact the village name comes from a geographical feature rather than a steading it is generally believed to be an ancient settlement. It is marked on Murdoch MacKenzie's first Admiralty chart of 1775 and was never affected by the clearances. The oldest building in the village is the thatched water mill by the shore of Loch Risay which was restored in the 1990s. It was formerly a tiny crofting / fishing settlement of just 12 crofts surrounding the natural harbour of Loch Beag but crofting has now ceased and holiday homes have taken over.
==Literature==
In 1939 the author Neil Gunn ("The Silver Darlings") stayed in Breaclete and wrote some of his essays for the book Highland Pack there. His experience of staying with Dr PJ Macleod and leaving Loch Beag in the fishing vessel "Rhoda" for the Flannan Isles provide an invaluable insight into pre-war Hebridean life. Also of literary interest are the writings of the former schoolmaster John N Macleod who lived in the village in the early part of the twentieth century. Writing under the pseudonym Alasdair Mòr (named after the first mate of the "Rhoda" from croft number 11), his weekly series of highly entertaining articles in the Stornoway Gazette called "Litir à Beàrnaraigh" were collected into a book "Litrichean Alasdair Mhòir" in 1932. These essays outline the distinctive wit, character, courage and craftsmanship of the people of the village and the island of Bernera.
