"Na Buirgh" really translates as "The Borves" or "The Burghs, " but Borve (Scottish Gaelic: Na Buirgh) is a village in Harris in the Outer Hebrides, ( Scotland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borve,_Harris
) so sometimes the translation is not quite literal. I'm not sure about details of Harris geography but there is a Borgh Bheag (Little Borve) and Borgh Mor (Great Borve) there, which I presume are the different parts of the village, which is just north of Scarista.

Just wondering if it could be Na Buirgh on the West side of Harris:
