In the 2011 census it had a usually resident population of 1,754, a fall of 64 since 2001.[8] There is a nature reserve and a number of sites of archaeological interest, including the only location in Great Britain where prehistoric mummies have been found.

Uist and Barra « The Western Isles “As for the emigrants, even now and knowing the hardships and tragedies to which they were exposed, it is not possible to judge where advantage may have lain between an island where one family could lose ten of eleven children in childhood, or in risking all and paying the price”. (Angus MacMillan) The Uists are the central group of islands in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. North Uist and South Uist are linked by causeways running via Benbecula and Grimsay, and the entire group is sometimes known as the Uists. The Minches and the Uists are a popular destination for the more adventurous or experienced of the yachting fraternity from around the British Isles.

Hill-walking and stalking Scotland has fantastic hill-walking opportunities, but summer and autumn are also important times for deer stalking, which supports the local economy and is essential for sustainable deer management. Here's some advice from the Scottish Outdoor Access Code to help you and land managers have a great day on the hill. From 1st July to 20th October (the stag stalking season) you should: take reasonable steps to find out where stalking is happening, such as looking at Heading for the Scottish Hills, or leaflets and signs; follow reasonable requests on alternative routes on days stalking is taking place; not cross land where stalking is taking place; avoid wild camping where stalking is planned for the next day. Access to Scotland's hills provides more detail on access rights and stalking.
