Eriskay is an island in the Outer Hebrides.
This beautiful hilly island is around 3 miles long and 1.5 miles wide.
Eriskay (Scottish Gaelic: Èirisgeigh) is a small island lying between
South Uist and Barra and is connected to South Uist by a causeway and
Barra by ferry. Barra (Scottish Gaelic: Barraigh) is characterised by a
west side of white sandy beaches backed by machair and an east side of
numerous rocky inlets.
The airport is one of the most unusual in the world, with flights
landing on the beach at Cockle Strand in between tides.
The main settlement is Castlebay (Scottish Gaelic: Bàgh a' Chaisteil).
