Uig
Uig, a tranquil
village nestled in a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay on the Isle of Skye, offers a
serene escape for travelers seeking a peaceful haven. Strategically located, Uig serves as a
ferry port to the Western Isles, making it an ideal base for exploring not just Skye's dramatic
landscapes but also the captivating beauty of other islands. Uig boasts a dramatic coastline overlooking the
vast expanse of the Minch, with cascading waterfalls like the RHA Waterfall easily
accessible via well-maintained paths, serene lochs reflecting the beauty of the
surroundings, and conical hills adding a touch of majesty. History buffs can delve into the past by
exploring Clach Ard Uige, an ancient stone circle relic, or by visiting the ruins of Caisteal
Uisdean, a 17th-century castle.
The Piping Memorial commemorates the rich musical heritage of the region. In the evening, cozy up by a crackling
fireplace in a traditional inn and listen to local tales spun by friendly
residents, soaking up the authentic charm of Uig.
