South Uist is a relatively large island lying between Benbecula and Barra. The east side of the island is mountainous with the highest point being Beinn Mhor at 2034ft above sea level. The west of South Uist is home to some of the best beaches anywhere - a long stretch of sand backed by dunes and flower-filled machair. The island’s main town, and port, is at Lochboisdale on the eastern coast.
