The Uists are the central set of islands in the Outer Hebrides lying between Lewis and Harris in the north and Barra to the south. The three main islands are North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist with the smaller islands of Berneray, Grimsay and Eriskay joined by man-made causeways. Each island has its own characteristics and South Uist has a spectacular line of white sand beaches on its west coast stretching for more than 20 miles. Unfortunately the weather while we were on North Uist and Benbecula was atrocious so the photographs concentrate on South Uist and the islands of Berneray to the north and Eriskay to the south.
