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.

We had a lovely week in this comfortable and spacious house with spectacular views. We were welcomed at the house by family members and shown around, as well as being assured they would be there to help us should that be necessary. The house was warm and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and we really appreciated the personal touches - biscuits, tea and coffee were left as a welcome for us. I would highly recommend this house as a base to explore the beauty of its surroundings - which we did!!

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.
