UIST

If you are looking for a "get away from it all" experience, then the islands that make up Uist are the place you want to be. With miles and miles of empty beaches to the west, quiet roads and an eastern wilderness of hills and moorland, combined with a lively warm community, the feeling of space from the wide open skies and being welcomed by friendly islanders will relax, rejuvenate and feed your soul.

Nestled between Lewis and Harris to the north and Barra and Vatersay to the south, Uist is easily accessed by ferries from the mainland and from the other islands. Uist is the collective name commonly used for the islands that make up Uist. These are Berneray, NorthUist, Grimsay, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay and and despite all being linked by causeway each has their own story and character.
