North Uist School This is a fine new school, but there has been controversy and pain associated with its build. There was previously a small secondary school here, which closed in 2012, with all pupils being transferred to Sgoil Lionacleit in Benbecula. This new school is a primary school and is now the sole primary school in North Uist, with all the previous smaller schools closed and pupils bussed daily from their homes.

Shoreline at Sgeir a' Chotain As one heads south westwards along this beach, so white sand tends to give way to pebble and seaweed. The northern end of Kirkibost Island is to the left, whilst to the south the view is towards the big hills of South Uist, the low island of Benbecula hardly showing at all.

Looking south east towards Oitir Fhiadhaich A seawater channel separates the camera position from the sandbank of Oitir Fhiadhaich with the north west end of Kirkibost Island beyond. In the distance is Ruabhal, the only hill of note on Benbecula.

Vehicle graveyard One of many little out of the way corners on the Uists where old and unwanted vehicles come to die. Is there no scrap yard on the Western isles?

Shoreline at Ruadh Bhruthach One probably wouldn't fancy a paddle on this side of the headland thanks to weed and rocks, but turn a corner to Lagan Arnal and there is a fine weed free beach.
