MV 'Hebrides' at Lochmaddy The MV 'Hebrides' is the ferry from Uig in Skye to Tarbert in Harris and Lochmaddy in South Uist. Until the Berneray causeway was built and the Sound of Harris ferry service started, this was the only way to get from the northern to the southern Western Isles.

On final approach to Loch Maddy I boarded the ferry at Tarbert, Isle of Harris a couple of hours ago and was told that the ferry had a change of plan and instead of going directly to Uig on Skye was now going via Loch Maddy on North Uist. All at no extra cost!
