Cnoc Buidhe

Mouth of the Howmore River, South Uist The only river of any size on South Uist, it drains several machair lochs. The OS map shows normal tides as flowing as far upstream as the first bridge above the beach but spring tides can often reach considerably further upstream, giving migrating fish a good push on their way upstream to spawn.
