Uig Development Trust

The shieling is a traditional stone walled building located in a remote area, similar to walkers’ bothies found in other parts of the Highlands and Islands. The facilities are basic, and all guests are advised to be aware of this and to ensure they arrive properly equipped in order to enjoy their stay. The shieling is approximately ten minutes walk from the road over rough moorland terrain. Walking shoes or boots and outdoor clothing are advised at all times of the year. Parking is available at the old military buildings just off the tarred road. The shieling location and parking are shown on Google maps and this will also be in your booking information.

The interior of the shieling is equipped with two long bench seats, a table that can be converted into a sleeping platform, a small stove and storage space for rucksacks etc under the benches and along the wall tops. There is a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm and 2 battery powered camping lights fixed to the interior timber structure of the roof. A short distance from the shieling are a stand-alone toilet and log store.
