Iolare Memorial

Reviewed By Mad-on-Maldives

We made the brief detour here on the way to Stornoway airport, not far but well worth the easy walk from the car park area. The story brought tears to my eyes. As you stand there, read the inscriptions, look out to sea and imagine what the men had already endured, they were so near home yet so many lost their lives so close to the shore. The work that had been completed here for the centenary of this disaster is brilliant, new tarmac walkway, lots of information boards along the way. The new memorial states all the names of the people who lost their lives, it really tugs at the heartstrings.

Hercules the Bear

Reviewed By jalogs - Aviemore, United Kingdom

Good walk on moorland and through forest. The highlight was seeing the carving of Hercules, his grave and reading all about him in a small wooden hut a short walk away.

Our Lady of the Isles

Reviewed By jalogs - Aviemore, United Kingdom

Very large statue of Madonna and Child which is situated at the northern end of South Uist. You can drive up or walk the steep path to the statue. On a clear day the views over North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist are stunning. More prominent signs would be helpful.

4. Ness Fishery Memorial
