UIST NEWS TUESDAY 17th JULY A cloudy start to the day here in Uist today, it is forecast to brighten up later on this morning though with temperatures of up to 14℃.  It is forecast to be sunny for most of the day tomorrow too with temperatures of up to 15℃. A Razorbill was spotted off South Uist yesterday. Razorbills belong to the auk family, along with guillemots and puffins. It has a black head and upperparts, white bar on their hindwing and white underparts. It has a large flattened black bill crossed with a line of white vertically across the middle. It also has a thin white line which extends from the eyes to the end of the bill. The Razorbill is well named because the edges of its hooked upper beak are very sharp. The average lifespan of a Razorbill is roughly 13 years but there have been birds ringed in the UK that have lived for longer.

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.
