Uig Lodge is set in a spectacular position overlooking, but with easy access to, the magnificent white sands of Uig Bay to the west and to the south the contrastingly dramatic views of the Harris hills can be seen. An ideal base not only for the experienced salmon fishermen, but also for ferox and brown trout enthusiasts owing to the numerous hill lochs nearby, in addition to the Fhorsa system itself.

Loch Suainaval, about 3 miles long, is the headwater of the Fhorsa system and fishing from an estate boat provides salmon, ferox and brown trout. From there the river runs into Loch Slacsavat where salmon and brown trout can be fished from the bank or 2 boats. From the bank the river is then fished down through 15 named pools, 7 of which are tidal, to the sea and the renowned Bruton Stream providing one of the few opportunites to catch salmon and sea trout in salt water. Many of the tidal pools are ideal for beginners wishing to catch an estuary trout. The resident ghillie can also organise sea trips on the estate's RIB whether to fish for mackerel or for exploring the coast line and lagoons, weather permitting. Recent catches of over 100 salmon, 50 sea trout & 400 brown trout make Uig a tremendous all round fishery complimented by a lodge in a fabulous situation.

It was described by Lord Leverhulme's niece, who was given the lodge by him as a wedding present, as having a "scene which surely has few equals in all Britain for sheer breathtaking loveliness". Inside the lodge the atmosphere is warm and comfortable.

The accommodation includes a sitting room with an open peat fire, dining room capable of seating 18, a rod room/ 2nd small sitting room, laundry room, drying room, large kitchen. Upstairs are 1 double and 2 twins en-suite, 4 twins and a single sharing 2 bathrooms and separate w.c. The lodge is let with the services of a good cook, but can also be taken on a self-catering basis.

Stalking and shooting can be let by arrangement on neighbouring estates. The Uig sands are ideal for kite surfing and sand yachting and together with other nearby beaches are popular for kayaking and beach combing. Sight seeing trips to the Callanish standing stones, brochs, tweed mills and speedboat trips to St Kilda are other popular outings making the lodge a perfect base for a memorable Hebridean holiday.

A nine-hole links golf course, recently renovated, provides sport of a different kind for guests of all ages.
