Situated on
the western shore of the Trotternish
peninsula, this spectacular coastal town and
ferry terminal offers sea-crossings to the
Isle of Harris. The magic of Scotland is
symbolised in the nearby Faerie Glen which
contains a stone circle.
North of Uig is the fascinating village of
Kilmuir which plays host to the must-see
Museum of Island life, housed in a series of
thatched cottages. Kilmuir is also the burial
place of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s serving woman
Flora McDonald. Beyond the village are the
romantic ruins of Duntulum Castle, built by
the McDonald clan on the site of an old Celtic
fort.
The islands of Canna, Rum,
Eigg and Muck are usually reached by the ferry the
MV Lochnevis which operates a pattern of services
from Mallaig calling at two, three or all four of
the islands on six days of the week.
