Uist News Thursday 21st of June We have another bright day here in Uist today, it remains chilly however with temperatures remaining at 11°c. The forecast for the rest of the day is to be sunny with a little cloud moving in this evening. It is forecast to be another sunny day tomorrow, with light Westerly winds and temperatures reaching 12°c in the afternoon. We saw a Hen Harrier last night hovering into the wind, it continued to do this for several minutes, it looked as if it was hovering in the same spot possibly seeing something tasty in the long grass below. A Whitethroat was also spotted yesterday on South Uist, this is a medium-sized warbler, about the size of a great tit. It has quite a long tail which it flicks as it darts in and out of cover. The male has a grey head, a white throat, a brown back, and buff underparts. The female lacks the grey head, and the throat is duller. The Whitethroat's song is fast and scratchy, with a scolding tone. Whilst the average lifespan of a Whitethroat is two years, one of the oldest recorded was seven years old. The Whitethroat's scratchy song has a jolty rhythm, which it usually sings from a prominent perch.

Next posting will be Monday 25th of June 2018, order by 10.30am for sameday despatch 

 

 

 

WELCOME TO THE 

HEBRIDEAN SMOKEHOUSE WEBSITE

THE HOME OF THE BEST

SCOTTISH SMOKED SALMON

AND SHELLFISH.

Prue Leith, "the best in the world".

 

 

 

Hebridean Smokehouse is located on the Isle of North Uist - part of the Outer Hebridean archipelago west of the Scottish mainland. The pristine clean waters that surround our shores support all the salmon and sea trout we use to make our special peat and beechwood smoked products and the small local inshore fishing fleet land the very best scallops for us to smoke with locally-cut peat.

 

We have been smoking locally reared and landed fish and shellfish here on North Uist for nearly 30 years. It is the combination of excellent fish and the skills of our expert team that has earned Hebridean Smokehouse a reputation for producing the very best smoked salmon.
