Outdoor Adventure in Uist

For the energetic, there are some great activities that also allow for some of Uist's best sight seeing. Try climbing Ben Mòr, Uist's highest mountain. At 620 meters it is a moderate to difficult climb. It was recently included as one of Scotland's top ten wild walks due in no small part to its impressive (and exposed) summit ridge.

There are literally hundreds of beautiful and fascinating walks to go on. Behind our cottages in Milton are some less strenuous hills to climb with impressive views. For these activities, good watertight walking boots or wellies are necessary. The weather in Uist is very changeable, and care should be taken if any of these walks were to be attempted.

Equipment is available at the Outdoor Centre for climbing, kayaking and surfing.

On a rainy day, the community school in Benbecula offers indoor activities and includes a swimming pool, sauna, small museum and a library available for public use. The riding school in Balivanich caters to both novice and experienced horse riders.
