Monach Isles

Overview

These uninhabited islands are a refuge for the second largest grey seal colony in the world and a cacophony of breeding seabirds. A mix of sand dunes and low coastal plains provide a canvas for the bright machair flowers of summer.

Best Time To Visit: May to August for birds and flowers. Autumn for the seals. Please avoid disturbance to nesting birds and seals.

Facilities: Information panel.  Leaflet available from SNH or local tourist office.

Further Information: SNH, Stilligarry, South Uist HS8 5RS. Tel: 01870 620238.
