Opis

The elemental landscapes of Uist and Barra include some superb walking country. The dune-backed beaches, machair and croftland of the Atlantic shores contrast with the lochan-scattered moorland and rugged hillcountry of the islands' interiors, while the frayed edges of the eastern coastline, with numerous islands, skerries and sea lochs, is a place apart. 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 the spectacular wildlife and the physical traces of island history.
