Uig Hostel
Uig (Scotland)

The eerie pinnacles of the Quiraing, the famous Old Man of Storr, and the magical fairy Glen are not far from Uig. Locally, you can hire bikes and canoes or try pony trekking. Get away from the tourist hoards, our relaxed and friendly hostel is an ideal base for exploring the wild north of the Island.
