About Uig, Eilean Siar

Uig perches on Lewis's Atlantic edge in the Outer Hebrides, reached via ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway, then 35km west on the A858 through peat moorland. The single-track coastal roads demand patience, with passing places for oncoming traffic. About one EV fast charger serves the area. This is where the famous Lewis Chessmen were discovered in 1831, buried in sand dunes at nearby Ardroil Beach.
