Tarbert to Uig ferry

The village Uig lies in a sheltered bay near the north end of the Isle of Skye (Inner Hebrides), in 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.

Uigg, Prince Edward Island, Canada was named by settlers from Uig.
