South Uist

Following our successful meet in Harris in 2023, in 2025 we are planning another trip to the Outer Isles, this time to South Uist, which has rugged mountains on its east side, and beautiful machair and beaches on the west. The popular Hebridean Way runs the length of the island, and you can visit the
birthplace of Flora MacDonald, not far from the excellent Kildonan Museum, a 13th century church
site at Howmore, and bronze age remains near Daliburgh. And just down the road is the causeway to Eriskay, site of the historical “Whisky Galore”, and from there you can catch the ferry to Barra. Kilbride hostel has room for 10 people, and provides bedding and ensuite bathrooms. Those who have already expressed interest will get the first chance to book. The cost is likely to be around £130 for the 4 nights. The camp site next door makes it an excellent place for campers, caravanners and campervanners to stay alongside those who want a hostel bed. A hard pitch with £25 per night.
