 On the shore at Howmore
One of my favorite images from my month long visit to south uist this summer. Loch Bee is a photographer's paradise! It inspired me to create a calendar called Hebridean Skies. Check out the other images on my website.

Below is a random selection from the accommodation section
The Island of Eriskay has some of the most beautiful and evocative scenery in the Outer Hebrides or Western Isles, of Scotland. Cuan Siar is a large, modern & comfortable self catering cottage, with accommodation for eight or more people, providing an ideal base from which to immerse yourself in Eriskay's special charm and atmosphere; it's a truly idyllic location, complemented by the equally fascinating neighbouring islands of South Uist and Barra. Eriskay is an absolute Paradise for kids; it's healthy and safe with it's pristine beaches and the clear clean Atlantic, home to the seals which frequent the rocks, Ben Scrien & Ben Stac to climb, the wide open freedom, and long, long days in Summer. Besides its breathtaking location, the house itself is spacious and comfortable, consisting of kitchen/dining room, utility, hallway, playroom, lounge, bathroom and four bedrooms, one en-suite. The bedrooms are currrently configured to sleep eight in comfort, i.e. two king sized doubles, two singles and one set of single bunks. All usual appliances are there, e.g, washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridges, freezers, all linens, towels and utensils, TVs, DVD, VCR, Hi-Fi, Playstation & 20 games, portable radio/CD player, telephone, chess, cards & other board games, local interest books, maps, 6 ft pool table, plenty rods, reels & fishing tackle plus a barbecue to grill your catch on!
Cuan Siar		 Large house on working croft at southern end of Benbecula. Easy access to swimming pool and leisure facilities. Good base for touring and birdwatching. All rooms en-suite.
Hestimul		 Heathbank was originally built as a mission house/church around the mid 1800's. About 100 years later the building was offering accommodation as a guest house. During the making of the classic film Whisky Galore, in 1948, some of the cast stayed in Heathbank. In 1974 it was opened as a hotel and Northbay enjoyed its first licensed premises since the closing of the old inn decades before. After an extensive renovation Heathbank Hotel reopened in July 2004, the renovation involving renewing foundations, a new roof, rewiring, re-plumbing and central heating throughout. The most outstanding alteration was the insertion of windows in the bar where the walls are over 3 foot thick, but the transformation now allows you to sit with a coffee or dram and watch fishing boats arriving across the bay at Ardveenish pier, with their day's catch. The hotel now has five comfortable en-suite bedrooms, a bright welcoming bar, a reception area and a dining room where breakfast and evening meals are served. Meals are also served in the bar where you can also enjoy a sociable evening with the locals who will regale you with stories of the island. Heathbank is owned and run by Joe and Kathleen Macleod who have been there for over 25 years. They are assisted by a small friendly team who will help make your stay more comfortable.
Heathbank Hotel
Only 3.5 miles from Lochboisdale ferry terminal and will collect and return if neccessary. Close to the newly restored Askernish Golf Course, miles of white sandy beaches, and a perfect coda for hillwalking and climbing. Ben Mhor is the only Graham [620 metres / 2,034 ft] in the Uists, and Hecla and Corradale can also be taken in on a days walk.
Kilvale		 The house stands on a low rocky rise, with views across the patchwork of rocks, lochans and boggy ground - the talabh dubh (black earth - ie peaty) to the machair and dunes bordering the sea, to the hills lining the east side of Uist, and even to the more distant hills of Barra. The rocky, boggy land immediately about the house is too poor for anything other than grazing of hardy Blackface sheep, yet is prolific in wildlife. From the windows - even without the help of binoculars - you will see (and hear) lapwings nesting and performing their extraordinary aerial displays; you'll see also sparrow hawks and hen harriers, short-eared owls, lambs being born or suckling. This traditional crofter's house dates from around 1930, and was built by Donald MacLeod, the first tenant of what was then a newly-created small-holding. According to the government grant schemes of the time, materials could be obtained free of charge for a limited range of standard approved house types. The tenant supplied the labour, building the house himself with the help of family, relatives and neighbours. 8 Askernish is one of the very few of these houses in Uist which remains unaltered externally. In the mid-1980s, the quarter-acre plot on which this cottage stands was 'de-crofted' (removed from crofting regulation - becoming a privately-owned plot), and the house with it. About 1990 the house became legally separated from the croft, and nowadays is used by a crofter from a neighbouring township for grazing sheep. The tariff shown here is for standard weekly lettings from Saturday 3pm to Saturday 10am. Shorter lettings and other arrangements are possible in low season - particularly at Christmas and New Year - please enquire. To check latest availability, and to request a booking form, contact Denise Bridge at the email address above. A housekeeping deposit of £100 per week is also payable - more on this below. Upon receiving your provisional reservation (by email, phone or post), we'll send a booking form. You should complete and return the form (within ten days to be sure of retaining your reservation) together with a cheque for 25% of the total sum (ie of tariff + housekeeping deposit) payable for your holiday: we'll confirm by return. The balance is payable six weeks before the start of your holiday - you'll get a reminder. On receiving your final payment, we'll send arrival information. In the interests of promoting sustainable energy consumption, we charge for electricity according to meter readings - at the rate it costs us. Logs and kindling - optimally dried for immediate use - can be purchased from us, again at cost. The cost of electricity and fuel is deducted from your housekeeping deposit. For babies and toddlers we can on request provide a high chair and/or cot for a small charge - please enquire. The balance of your housekeeping deposit will be refunded to you as a cheque in the post during the week after your stay.
