Visiting Sealladh Eabhal and Exploring the Uists
The cottage is located in the township of Kallin (Ceallan) on Grimsay Island and is centrally positioned for exploring the dazzling white sandy beaches, moorland and machair of the Uists. Machair is an environmentally important, flower-rich sandy soil created through traditional farming and crofting practices, supporting a wide variety of flora and fauna, including endangered species such as the corncrake and the great yellow bumblebee.
In addition to superb beach walks, there are numerous tracks to explore and hills to climb, offering fantastic panoramic views.
