==History==
The construction of nearby Dun Vulan broch has been dated to the period 150–50 BC. Located on the coast, it was originally in height, but is now reduced to walls of . A Pictish house was later built within the walls.〔("South Uist, Bornish, Dun Vulan" ). Canmore. Retrieved 12 August 2011.〕
Excavations of a Norse settlement nearby have provided important information about lifestyles during this period. It suggests that pigs were a more important aspect of Viking farming than prior to that time, that red deer numbers may have been "controlled" rather than the species simply being subject to hunting, that herring fishing became an important commercial consideration and that trade with centres to the south such as Dublin and Bristol may have been important. Coins found at Bornais and nearby Cille Pheadair were produced in Norway, Westphalia, and England, although there were none from Scotland.〔Sharples and Smith (2007) pp. 113–14, 119〕 Ivory from Greenland was also found there.〔Sharples and Smith (2007) p. 120〕
It is known that Hebrides were taxed using the Ounceland system and evidence from Bornais suggests that settlers there may have been more prosperous than families of a similar status in the Northern Isles, possibly due to a more relaxed political regime.〔Sharples and Smith (2007) p. 104, 109, 124〕
