Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Kildonan Museum on South Uist is a small community museum covering croft life and the island’s history, with a café and a craft shop attached. That makes it a handy stop for a warm-up and a browse on the long drive down the island chain. You’ll find it on the A865 at Kildonan.
