The village of Uig on the Trotternish peninsula on the north west of the Isle of Skye SCO 2251
The village of Uig lies in a sheltered bay near the north end of the Trotternish peninsula on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. From its sheltered port, Caledonian MacBrayne ferries run to Tarbert on Harris and Lochmaddy on North Uist providing links with the Outer Hebrides. As of August, 2006, Uig is accessible via intercity buses on Skye, and Scottish Citylink buses, which travel as far south as Fort William and Glasgow. The A87 trunk road traverses the island from the Skye Bridge to Uig, linking most of the major settlements. Many of the island's roads have been widened in the past 40 years, but there are still substantial sections of single track road. Uigg, Prince Edward Island, Canada was named by settlers from Uig.
