Lochmaddy

Overview

Lochmaddy is a ferry port on the island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.

Ferries arrive at Lochmaddy (meaning 'Loch of the Dogs'), situated on a narrow promontory overlooked by mountains. The town's main attraction is Taigh Chearsabhagh, a community arts centre and museum. This forms part of the Uist Sculpture Trail. There are some prehistoric sites around Lochmaddy, such as the giant burial cairn, Barpa Langais, and the trio of standing stones, Na Fir Bhreige (The Three False Men). Otters can sometimes be seen in the area.
