This guide offers 40 walking routes on the Uists and Barra - a
unique 100km cluster of islands in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. The
walks are varied and graded, from short, flat beach walks beside
crystal clear waters to long excursions across wild mountainous
terrain, the routes visit all the major islands from Berneray to
Vatersay but also those smaller and offshore such as Eriskay and
Mingulay. Routes are described in four sections, by area, and
illustrated with vivid colour photographs and OS mapping. Walking
across these landscapes, especially the hill country, gives a sense
of remoteness and peaceful solitude that cannot be found in the
mainland's National Parks or on the Munros busy with peak baggers.
Despite a relatively narrow area, Uist and Barra's diverse islands
offer a contrasting walking terrain and many ancient historic sites
such as chambered cairns and standing stones as well as lots of
local wildlife. Upland areas are home to red deer and golden and
white-tailed eagles, while along the coast grey seals are common
and thousands of birds set up their breeding grounds in the
machair. Daily flights between Glasgow and Benbecula as well as the
ferry network mean that all of the islands are readily accessible.
