Uist News Wednesday 20th of June It is a bright day here in Uist today, it is still a little chilly however with temperatures remaining at 11°c. The forecast for the rest of the day is to be a mixture of sunshine and showers again with light Westerly winds. It is forecast to be a much better day tomorrow though with plenty sunshine and light North Westerly winds. 2 Bottle-nosed Dolphins were spotted off South Uist at the weekend, this large Dolphin is robust and chunky and under most lighting conditions it appears a featureless uniform grey. The common Bottle-nosed Dolphin is actually a dark grey, sometimes bluish or brownish grey, with a darker dorsal cape, paler lower sides with a subtle eye-flipper stripe, and lighter belly. They can be between 10 - 14 ft long and weigh up to 1,100lbs. The deepest dive ever recorded for a Bottle-nose Dolphin was 300 metres. This was accomplished by Tuffy, a Dolphin trained by the US Navy. The average life span in the wild is between 45 - 50 years. Nellie, the longest-lived Atlantic Bottle-nose Dolphin in human care, died at the age of 61.

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.
