Orientation and Maps

(Benbecula, Scotland)

Located on the north-western side of Scotland and directly west of the Isle of Skye, Benbecula is an enchanting island. Part of the Outer Hebrides, Benbecula can be found between the nearby Uist islands, which are linked by causeways. However, it is only possibly to reach Scotland's mainland by either plane or boat.
