The Uists have outstanding
opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts. Sea birds, waders
corncrakes and birds of prey can all be seen. Visits to
Balranald RSPB and Loch Druidibeg National Nature Reserve
are highly recommended.
Uist supports a large population of otters that can regularly
be observed as can seals that are often seen swimming close
to the shore or basking on the rocks
Anglers are also well
catered for with over 400 lochs containing Trout, Sea Trout
and Salmon that may be fished on day or weekly permit.
The Uists are also an excellent cycling destination with
many visitors choosing to cycle the entire length of the
Western Isles. If you like to take it a bit easier then
there are many deserted beaches, ideal for quiet romantic
walks.
The Southern Isles also have many cultural & historic
sites of interest
