North Uist
North Uist is a spectacular blend of sandy beaches and machair land interlaced with freshwater lochs and rolling moorland hills. Running 13 miles North to South it takes roughly 45 miles to travel around the whole island. The west coast looks out to the Monach Islands and the magnificent St Kilda archipelago. The island is a haven for wildlife watchers and perfect for walking, cycling and kayaking.
Balranald Hebridean Holidays is the ideal base for exploring the Uists and discovering the numerous places of interest, events and attractions.
