Uist News Friday 25th of May A cloudy start to the day here in Uist today, the sun is forecast to return after lunch though thankfully! The temperature reached 18°c yesterday afternoon and we all really enjoyed the lovely warm breeze every time we went outside! We saw a Black Cap on the fence outside this morning balancing on the thin wire, they are chunky little birds about the size of Chaffinches, with fine, dark beaks. The Male and female are mostly grey in colour and in winter are best distinguished by the colour of their cap. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'Northern Nightingale'. A Siskin, Spotted Flycatcher and Whitethroat were also spotted yesterday in South Uist. Spotted Flycatchers are fascinating to watch, they fly from a high perch, dash out to grab a flying insect and return to the same spot. They have grey-brown upperparts and whitish underparts with a streaked crown and breast giving rise to the birds common name.

 Next posting will be Tuesday 29th 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.
