Uig Lodge is set in a superb position overlooking the Fhorsa River and the magnificent white sands of Uig bay, on the west coast of Lewis, the largest of the Outer Hebridean islands. Built in 1876 by Sir James Matheson, the Lodge was later purchased by Lord Leverhulme who gave it as a wedding present to his niece. Today it is let mainly as a sporting Lodge but it is also available for family and large group holidays throughout the year and makes an ideal location for those with a love of the sea and open spaces. It stands amidst blue sea, white sand, mountains and lochs.

It is an inspiring building which everyone who visits the area remembers. Among many famous people who have stayed here is Arthur Ransome, the world-renowned author of the Swallows and Amazons children's books (see panels).

The Lodge is well equipped and provides good accommodation for up to 15 people, in 8 bedrooms, with plenty of bathrooms. It can either be taken on a self-catering basis or with the services of an excellent cook.
