Hiking
Experience the unique opportunity of walking across the tidal flats to the beautiful Vallay Island in North Uist. It's essential to check the tidal times before visiting, as this walk can only be completed in low tide, and you must give yourself enough time to get there and back before the tide rises again. It's quite the adventure, and a bucket list opportunity whilst exploring the Outer Hebrides.
