South Uist, Western Isles Reference Map Reference map of South Uist, Western Isles

Together, North and South Uist cover an area of about 670 sq km (260 sq miles), and are linked via causeways to the island of Benbecula, which lies between them. North Uist is rich in wildlife, specifically known for its otters, seals, wildcats, and red deer. The island is covered with lochs and ringed by a rugged coastline riddled with sea lochs, cliffs and sandy bays. Tourism plays an important part in the local economy, as does crofting, fishing and the harvesting of kelp (seaweed).

During the 8th century Vikings invaded the Hebrides, and as a result Norway ruled the island chain until 1266, when they were transferred to Scottish control. During the next few centuries Scottish chieftains ruled the islands, but the royal house of Scotland gradually reduced the influence of the chieftains, gaining full control over the Hebrides in 1748.

The Hebrides as a whole are renowned for their unspoilt, wild beauty, with a rocky and sometimes mountainous terrain that is broken by many bogs, moors, lakes, and valleys, they feature a vast array of wildlife and amazing scenery.
