The beaches of North Uist stretch in a long line along the northern coast of this Western Isle. Tráigh Hórnais (pictured) is one of many which are idyllic on a warm summer’s day. Bring a picnic and enjoy the vibrant sea greens and blues which are on a par with the Caribbean. A good way to see this part of the island is by bike. The roads are generally quiet and there are a couple of loop options to do.
