About Eriskay and the 01878 Area Code
Bornish is a crofting township on the west coast of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, set on the magnificent machair, the fertile shell-sand grassland that runs the length of the island's Atlantic shore. South Uist is the second-largest island in the Outer Hebrides, with a mountainous eastern spine of peaks including Beinn Mhor and Hecla rising above a western coastal plain of extraordinary natural beauty. The island has a predominantly Catholic population, and a large statue of Our Lady of the Isles by Hew Lorimer stands on the slopes of Rueval, visible for miles across the landscape. Archaeological treasures abound, including the Kildonan Museum's collection and the site where the famous Lewis Chessmen may originally have been made or stored.
The 01878 exchanges serve the southern communities of South Uist and the island of Eriskay. Lochboisdale is the main ferry port, with services to Oban on the Scottish mainland and connections to Barra. Carnan sits on the eastern shore amid the labyrinth of sea lochs. Eriskay, connected to South Uist by a causeway opened in 2001, is famous as the island where Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot on Scottish soil in 1745, and where the SS Politician ran aground in 1941 carrying 28,000 cases of whisky, inspiring Compton Mackenzie's novel "Whisky Galore." The Eriskay pony, a hardy native breed, has been preserved on the island after nearly becoming extinct.
A 01878 virtual phone number connects your business with the communities of South Uist and Eriskay, remote Atlantic islands where Gaelic Catholic culture, crofting traditions, and some of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in Britain sustain a distinctive island identity.
