Uig to Lochmaddy links the Isle of Skye with the Outer Hebrides, CalMac's crossing of around one hour 45 minutes from the harbour at Uig, on Skye's Trotternish peninsula, over The Minch to North Uist. It is a key part of the island-hopping network, letting travellers combine Skye with the long chain of the Uists, Benbecula and beyond, which are connected to one another by causeways. North Uist is a low, watery landscape of lochans, machair flowers, wide beaches and rich birdlife, and Lochmaddy is its main village and ferry port. The crossing carries cars, motorhomes, bikes and foot passengers, with sailings most days, and ties neatly into CalMac's Hopscotch island-hopping tickets. Booking vehicle space ahead is recommended through the summer, when the Outer Hebrides are at their busiest.
Around one hour 45 minutes across The Minch to North Uist.
CalMac (Caledonian MacBrayne) runs the crossing from Skye to North Uist.
Yes — North Uist connects by causeway to Benbecula and the other Uists, and the route works well with CalMac Hopscotch tickets.
