Sealladh Lingeigh is a very spacious bright and comfortable detached holiday home located in the crofting community of East Kilbride on the way to Eriskay, and boasting panoramic views over the Sound of Barra and the Sound of Eriskay. This peaceful and tranquil location offers a truly ‘get away from it all’ experience, whether you go out exploring or just enjoy the comfort of Sealladh Lingeigh. The birdlife and wildlife are wonderful, with eagles, corncrakes, whales and basking sharks, which all visit in the summer. The Machair is a mass of colour with all the different wild flowers, flora and fauna, and there is brilliant walking on the white sandy beaches.
An ideal base for exploring the islands, Eriskay is a short drive away, where you will be amazed at the turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and where the Eriskay ponies wander freely. Here you will also find the famous Politician Inn. The SS Politician sank in February 1941 in the waters between Eriskay and South Uist, and this shipwreck was the basis for the classic film ‘Whisky Galore’. Guests can take a day trip from Eriskay to Barra, and other boat trips run from Lochboisdale out to Mingualay, Monarch Isles and St Kilda. There is so much history steeped in these islands, with Neolithic stone structures, medieval churches and many archaeological sites, and you will find that Gaelic is wildly spoken throughout the isles. So do come experience and enjoy this beautiful location. You will truly be amazed! Beach 20 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

This was our second stay in this beautiful house. It has recently had some new additions making it even more comfortable than before. Lovely to meet Duncan who showed us round. Spacious, clean, well stocked and a fabulous welcome pack provided. Views of Barra are stunning - even if it’s misty! We loved watching the owl fly past regularly. Great base to explore all of the islands. Definitely recommend a trip to Am Politician for a meal and/or a few drinks. Beautiful beaches and walks nearby, as well as further afield. Hopefully will return again ! I highly recommend Sealladh Lingeigh.

Our family and dog had a glorious week at Sealladh Lingeigh.The house is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped with every home comfort and some very thoughtful touches.We had a very warm welcome on arrival and a lovely bag of welcome goodies. The location is quiet and peaceful with stunning views out towards Barra and Eriskay. The house makes an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, and the nearest Coop supermarket is a short drive.We also enjoyed a delicious meal at AM Politician on Eriskay (5 minute drive) which I would highly recommend.All in all, highly recommended and we look forward to returning! :)

Just had a wonderful holiday. This property is a great choice in terms of what it has to offer.... spacious, well-equipped, and very nicely furnished. It is in a superb location, with terrific views. We would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to visit South Uist or Eriskay. Living room 2 (described in Cottages.com) also has a large screen TV. The kitchen also has coffee-making equipment and an Air Fryer!
