    I've never eaten in a restaurant in Scotland that I didn't like. I most often ate the venison and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, so was happy just about everywhere. The ales, lagers, and whiskies are pretty good, too!

    I've been from Benbecula on the causeway through the Isle of Grimsay, to North Uist many times.
    I hope you are used to the many Single track roads on the islands, with their errant sheep...

    Which way are you going? Oban - Lochboisdale or Uig - Lochmaddy?

    Your Shopping for Highlandwear will almost certainly be limited to the very big towns, most probably in Edinbugh, Stirling, (Oban if you go that way) I never saw a kilt on the islands.

    There is a craft silversmiths https://www.hebrideanjewellery.co.uk/ at Iochar on South Uist, near my old Sgoil (now a community centre).

    The Dark Island restaurant / hotel on Benbecula was good when I lived nearby but that was some years ago.
