Walks In The Western Isles - Uist, Barra & Vatersay

The elemental landscapes of Uist and Barra include some superb walking country. The dune-backed beaches, machair and croftland of the Atlantic shores contrast with the lochan-scattered moorland and rugged hillcountry of the islands’ interiors, while the frayed edges of the eastern coastline, with numerous islands, skerries and sea lochs, is a place apart.

These 25 walks reflect the range of terrain in the islands and provide opportunities to experience the spectacular wildlife and the physical traces of island history.
