WALKS IN THE WESTERN ISLES: UIST BARRA AND VATERSAY (PB)

The island sequence of Uist and Barra includes some superb walking country. The dune-backed beaches, machair and croftland of the Atlantic shores contrast with the lochan-scattered moorland and rugged hill country of the islands' interiors, while the eastern coastline features numerous islands, skerries and sea lochs. Each of the islands has its own distinctive character, geography and history. These 25 walks reflect the range of terrain in the islands and provide opportunities to experience their spectacular wildlife and traces of island history.
