Brue (Template:Langx) is a village on the Isle of Lewis in the West Side district, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It is a crofting township and it is composed of two areas: Am Baile Staigh, which is nearer the coast, and Pàirc Bhrù, which runs towards the moor. In total it covers a road distance of 2.5 km.[1] Brue is situated on a minor road which joins to the A858,[citation needed] and is within the parish of Barvas.[2]

The name Brue is an anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic Brù which in turn comes from an Old Norse word which is believed to have meant bridge; this reflects the centuries of Norsemen occupation and settlement in the Outer Hebrides.[3]

The coastline at Brue is the site of various cairns, including a prehistoric one,[4][5][6] and is also near to the site of a blackhouse.[7]
