Uibhist a Dheas (South Uist)

South Uist is narrower with less machair (fertile land on shell sand) and wilder hills. Unlike further north South Uist and Barra are predominantly Roman Catholic.

Aird a Mhachair (Ardivachar). The old pier at Loch Sgioport (Lochskipport) in the east. Loch Sgioport. Near Loch Sgioport. Gneiss - a very old Pre-Cambrian rock found throughout the Western Isles. Friendly wild ponies at Loch Druidibeg appeared hopefully... ...and got a result. Thacla (Hecla) the highest hill in the Uists seen from the north-west. Looking south from our Lady of the Isles... ...and north towards Beinn na Faoghla. From Eioriosgaigh (Eriskay) with its new causeway to South Uist... ...and the ferry pier made redundant when the causeway was built. St Michael's Catholic Church on Eioriosgaigh. Inside St Michael's Church... ...the boat at the altar reflects the importance of the sea to the islands. A roadside shrine in South Uist.
