Loch Eport cuts deep into the east side of North Uist, a long sea loch rather than a freshwater one, with the tide moving in and out of it twice a day. Langass Lodge sits on its edge, looking across the water to Ben Eaval, the highest point on the island.
It's a working landscape as much as a scenic one. Otters are a regular sight along the shoreline, herons stand watch in the shallows, and on a clear evening the light across the water and the hill beyond is hard to beat, especially from the conservatory or the grounds around the lodge.
Walking tracks run out from the lodge itself, through moorland and forest, with the loch in view for most of the route. It's an easy way to stretch your legs before dinner, whatever the weather is doing, and one of the reasons guests tend to linger longer than they planned to.
If you're staying with us, ask at reception for a route to suit the time you have. Otherwise, our Accommodation and Things to Do pages have more on what's within easy reach of the lodge.
