Great cycling road on the Hebridean Way

Opened in 1960, the causeway joins Benbecula with North Uist. Before it was built, you could cross by boat at high tide or by foot at low tide, but the former was treacherous in poor weather and the latter required a a guide to show you where the safe route was.

This beautiful nature reserve's moorland contrasts starkly with the vibrant machair found elsewhere on South Uist. The reserve is home to a variety of ground nesting bird species, including hen harriers, skylarks and merlins. You might also spot a few wild ponies on your travels and, if you're really lucky, a sea eagle or two. There are also lovely views towards Beinn Mhòr, Hacla and Beinn Tairbert.

The distillery is located between the Hebridean islands of North and South Uist on the site of a former salmon factory.

Even from the outside, the complex is impressive

Loch Dun Na Cille isn't just another loch: beyond the water lies an ancient pre-Roman dun (a temple or a funerary fortress?) whose base still protrudes from the wall of the current cemetery. If you look closely, there's a small square window right at water level that could have been its original entrance.
