South Uist is a stunningly beautiful island of crystal clear waters with white powder beaches to the west and heather uplands dominated by Beinn Mhor to the east. The 20 miles of machair that runs alongside the sand dunes provides a marvellous habitat for the rare Corncrake, and Golden Eagles, Red Grouse and Red Deer can be seen on the mountains slopes to the east.
Lochboisdale, once a major herring port, is the main settlement and ferry terminus on the island with a population of approximately 1700.

The island is home to the oldest Link Golf Course in the Outer Hebrides at Askernish –
