Uist News Monday 21st of May  We had a terribly wet day here in Uist yesterday and it was still raining this morning. The rain has just started to ease off now thankfully and it is forecast to dry up later on this evening. The rest of the week is to be much better though with brilliant sunshine forecast  for Thursday and Friday. There were a variety of birds around at the weekend, the Dotterel, Lesser Yellowlegs, Long-tailed Skuas and Garganey were spotted in North Uist. The Garganey is a scarce and very secretive breeding duck which is smaller than a Mallard and slightly bigger than a Teal. A Turtle Dove was also seen in Benbecula, this dove is smaller and slighter in build than many other doves. It is brown with a black and white stripped patch on the side of its neck. The tail is notable as the bird flies away from you, it is wedge shaped with a dark centre and white borders and tips.

 Next posting will be Tuesday 22nd of May 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.
