Located: From Lochmaddy and the north,
take the A865 south through Benbecula and South Uist. Stay on the road until
the left hand curve just before Lochboisdale. When you see the signposts for
Ludaig and Eriskay, turn right onto the B888, cross the causeway from South
Uist to Eriskay and follow the signs for the Sound of Barra ferry. From
Lochboisdale, take the main road for two miles before turning left onto the
B888. Stay on this road until you reach Eriskay slipway.
