Towering 9 metres (30 feet) above South Uist, 'Our Lady of the Isles' is an iconic landmark. The statue, made from granite, depicts Madonna and child. It is considered to be one of the finest works of sculptor Hew Lorimer who created the statue in 1957. The face of the Madonna is supposed to resemble a typical island woman.

From a distance you can see the nine-meter-high sculpture with Madonna and the baby Jesus. The view from the end of the footpath is definitely worth it!
