About Carinish

Carinish lies on North Uist's western edge in the Outer Hebrides, reached via Benbecula Airport and the A865 causeway or ferry connections from the mainland. The Atlantic setting brings dramatic weather and remarkable light across the island's distinctive landscape of peat bogs and white sand beaches. About 7 fast chargers serve the sparse road network connecting scattered settlements. The village overlooks Carinish Point's small harbour, where local fishing boats shelter from the often rough waters of the Little Minch.
