Eriskay

It was at Eriskay on June 23, 1745 that "Bonnie Prince Charlie" first set foot on Scottish soil.

The tiny island off the southern tip of South Uist can be reached by passenger ferry from Ludag. In 1941 the "SS Politician" sank with a cargo of 20,000 crates of whisky which the inhabitants rapidly concealed. The full story was told in the film "Whisky Galore".
