Starling chick's in the bird box on the shed at Tigh na Boireach! The 2 photos were taken 10 days apart and haven't they grown?! 🐣🐥

Happy World Otter Day! To celebrate here are some photos that we took of the otters in Loch Kilerivagh from the garden at Airidh an Dobhrain earlier in the year. They are often difficult to spot as they blend in with the surroundings so well but we were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time!

The Northern lights were out over Tigh na Boireach last night and the clouds cleared for just long enough to enjoy the view!

There has been lots of good northern lights sightings over the last few nights! Here is a throwback to one of our favourite photos from last winter 🌟

Tidying up the garden and refreshing the old ploughs with a new base and mountings and a fresh coat of paint. These belonged to the cottage when it was a working croft and we rescued them out of the field a few years ago.

Happy World Otter Day!

Did you know that otters grow to between 60 and 80cm long and weigh 6-8kg. They have an average lifespan of 5-10 years and they eat fish, sea urchins, crabs and other shellfish. The gaelic word for otter is "dobhrain" and Airidh an Dobhrain (Sheiling of the Otter) is named after the otters that live in the loch by the cottage. The best time to see otters is at dawn and dusk so keep an eye out!

Tigh na Boireach is getting a new hair-do ready for the summer! The roof is thatched using marram grass from the nearby dunes and it needs re-doing every 6-7 years.

Making the most of a sunny winter's day by walking down to the beach at Clachan Sands. Not another person in sight but plenty of oystercatchers catching their lunch!

Happy New Year! 🎆 Thank you to everyone who has been and stayed at Tigh na Boireach or Airidh an Dobhrain this year. We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning guests in 2023. Here are some of our favourite photos from 2022.

You can't beat a beach walk on a winter's afternoon!

Enjoying a well earned cup of tea at the picnic bench in the garden after making the most of the few hours of lovely weather in between all the storms to paint the exterior of Tigh na Boireach today!

The Northern lights last night over Tigh na Boireach

With powercuts resulting from the high winds last night making the car the warmest place to be today, what better excuse to go for a drive down to Eriskay for a very windy beach walk and a hot chocolate!

Pretty primroses brightening the day at Tigh na Boireach 🌼

As 2021 draws to a close its the time for reflection on the past 12 months. Highlights of our year include building a new shed at Tigh na Boireach, re-doing the fence at Airidh an Dobhrain, upgrading the website and we even managed to fit in a few walks on the beach in between! And of course welcoming so many more lovely guests to our holiday cottages. We hope you've all managed to find some good in what has been another difficult year for everyone and hope that 2022 brings less challenges along with it. Happy New Year from Uist Cottages
