All about North Uist
Located in the Outer Hebrides — a 100-mile interconnected chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Scotland — North Uist is a rugged island full of peat bogs, lochans, and an array of pristine beaches. This water-enveloped landscape is home to a plethora of flora and fauna, including otters, seals, and one of Britain’s rarest birds, the corncrake.
The island is also a popular, picturesque spot for outdoor activities — people make the journey from the mainland to explore tranquil lakes in a canoe, try windsurfing on one of the Atlantic beaches, or set off hill walking or cycling along the Hebridean Way, which spans 10 islands and dramatic causeways.
Culturally, the island is a bit different from the mainland. Scottish Gaelic is often the predominant language here, and you can still see many examples of North Uist’s Celtic heritage, including Pobull Fhinn, a stone spiritual circle with fantastic views, and a ruined 13th-century nunnery, Teampull na Trionaid. The Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, in a former 18th-century inn, is home to contemporary artworks and offers an open-air experience in the Uist Sculpture Trail, which runs to neighbouring Benbecula.
What are the top things to do in North Uist?
Hebridean Way
Stretching nearly 200 miles across 10 islands, six causeways, and two ferries, this epic biking and walking trail takes you past rugged hills and dazzling Atlantic vistas. The trail passes through North Uist, from where you can head north to Lewis or south towards Vatersay. This is an excellent way to explore the spectacular scenery of the Outer Hebrides and get a closer look at the islands’ abundant wildlife, from golden eagles soaring overhead to minke whales just offshore.
Lochmaddy
Surrounded by majestic mountains and sea dotted with rocky islands, this tiny port town on the east of the island dates back to the 17th century and is the main arrival point for ferries from the mainland. Lochmaddy is home to a vibrant art scene with a number of galleries and the Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, along with a handful of prehistoric sites, including a giant burial cairn and ancient standing stones.
Eaval
As the island’s highest point, Eaval offers spectacular views over North Uist’s wetlands, beaches, and rugged hills. A hiking trail leads you past emerald moors and sparkling blue lochs as you ascend to the 347-metre peak. If you’re planning to cross the stepping stones across Loch Obasaraigh, be aware that extremely high tides can make them impassable.
