Lochboisdale Guide

Lochboisdale Ferry Port

Lochboisdale is the main port and settlement on South Uist, an island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. Once a thriving fishing port in the 19th Century, the southeastern town of Lochboisdale now offers the only route from South Uist to Isle of Barra, as well as frequent crossings to Oban on the mainland. The ferry terminal is situated at the southern end of the A865 and has a small waiting room and toilet facilities inside the terminal building, with a taxi rank situated just outside. Originally completed in 1880, Lochboisdale’s pier was rebuilt in 1966 to accommodate the new car ferries, allowing the innovative ‘roll-on roll-off’ system to flourish. Also, the Lochboisdale Hotel was built in 1882 and still boasts stunning views overlooking the harbour.
