Discover Ronay and Uist
Ronay Island is a journey into the wild beauty and storied past of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides.
Ronay sits opposite Kallin Harbour, just off the coast of Grimsay, surrounded by the waters and working communities of Uist. Wild, remote and remarkably beautiful, the island has 35.5km of coastline, freshwater lochs, rugged hills and a rich history shaped by generations of people and wildlife.
While there is currently no general visitor access to Ronay, there are ways to experience the island from the water and discover more of the landscape, wildlife, culture and people of the surrounding area.
Your opportunity to stay on Ronay
From 2027, you can stay on Ronay, offering a rare opportunity to spend time on this remote Hebridean island and experience its landscape, wildlife, and changing seasons beyond its shoreline.
Surrounded by water and open skies, days on Ronay have their own rhythm. There are freshwater lochs to swim or paddle in, rugged hills to roam, historic ruins and coastline to explore, wildlife to watch and plenty of space to simply slow down. Whether that means being outdoors, finding somewhere quiet to read or write, or watching the weather move across the surrounding islands, staying here will offer the chance to experience Ronay at a very different pace.
We’re developing a small-scale accommodation experience with different ways to stay, from time entirely at your own pace to more curated stays and experiences. We also want the experience of Ronay to extend beyond the island itself, drawing on the food, culture, wildlife and local knowledge of the wider Uist community.

Experience Ronay from the water
One of the best ways to experience Ronay today is from the water. Local wildlife experts Nick and Nye run Lady Anne Wildlife Cruises from Kallin Harbour on Grimsay, with wildlife tours exploring the waters around Ronay and the surrounding coastline. Along the way, they share their knowledge of the area’s wildlife, geology and history.
