Travel Guide

North Uist can easily be reached by boat with a regular car ferry service running from Uig on Skye (a 1hr 45min trip) and Leverburgh on Harris (a 1hr trip). There is also a ferry from Barra to Eriskay which is linked to South Uist by a causeway. Alternatively, ferries run from Oban to Lochboisdale (a longer ferry trip of around 5hr). This route includes a 46 mile drive from South Uist to Tigh na Boireach. For up to date prices, timetables and booking information please visit www.calmac.co.uk

*Please note – the ferries to the islands get very busy at weekends. We strongly advise booking the ferry at the same time as booking the cottage.*

You can also reach Uist by plane with flights from Glasgow to Benbecula. For more information about flights, car hire etc. please visit www.hial.co.uk

Although not essential, a car is advisable. Car hire is available from the airport or alternatively from Maclennan Bros. LTD.
