The Islands’ archipelago is 80km long and 12-25 km wide. The land is a blend of sandy lush pasture (machair) and moorland interspersed with freshwater and sea lochs. Crofting and the Gaelic language and culture is still very much a way of life. North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist have some of the finest game fishing in the world. |
|
| There are almost 2,000 lochs holding wild brown trout and bright red-speckled hill lochan trout of a few ounces and magnificent machair loch specimens of up to and over 31b in weight. The loch-laced landscape is dominated to the south by Beinn Mhor (Ben More - 620m) in South Uist, which can be seen from the Angler’s Retreat. |
