North Uist Self Catering

Location of Clachan Flat......

North Uist is situated in the Outer Hebrides off the West Coast of Scotland. It is accessible from the mainland by car ferry from Uig, Skye and Oban via Lochboisdale. There is a daily air service from Glasgow to Benbecula, and from Inverness via Stornoway. North Uist is connected with Berneray, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay by causeways. Car ferry services enable day trips to Harris, Lewis and Barra.

Vast expanses of white beaches extend along the west coast, and fertile machair soil produce a profusion of wild flowers. The corncrake and the cornbunting thrive there.

The island is an important landing stage for migratory birds travelling to and from the Arctic during spring and autumn migrations.

The interior of the island is moorland and loch. There are many ancient and historical remains such as chambered cairns and standing stones. The centre of the island is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of its wealth of plant and bird life.
