Baleshare is a flat tidal island to the south west of North Uist. It is known for its long sandy beach. In 2005, the Baile sear roundhouses were uncovered as a result of storms and coastal erosion. Also found here were fragments of pottery, bone and metal.

Located at the southern end of the island there is a monument to one of Berneray’s most notable sons, Giant Macaskill (Aonghas Mor MacAsgaill). Born in Berneray, he spent most of his life in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and he was said to be the world largest giant at a height of 7ft 9in.

Inspired by the culture of the islands within the Outer Hebrides, Taigh Chearsabhagh celebrates the heritage of the land.

Taigh Chearsabagh is situated in Lochmaddy.
