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

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.

Entirely off-grid and tucked away in a secluded bay, you’ll find the only property on the 1,500 acre rocky island. 

With pristine lochs perfect for paddle boarding, stunning views of the surrounding area, and historic ruins that give a glimpse into life on Ronay Island in the 1800s, there is plenty to explore and learn about. 

We’re in the process of renovating the house for it to be used for workshops, educational events, and to aid in community connection to this project. Check back here for updates.
