OUR AREA
OUter Hebrides
From the southern isles of Mingulay to the Butt of Lewis and from St Kilda to the Shiants.
Our area stretches over the entire Outer Hebrides, from the southern most islands of Mingulay to the Butt of Lewis, and from St Kilda to the Shiants.
This covers a vast area of hills, moorlands, machair and coastline. Situated on the north western frontier of the Atlantic, the Outer Hebrides bears the brunt of the weather. While temperatures are mild, high wind speeds are common. The team is well adapted to these conditions and have conducted searches even when summit wind guests exceed 100 mph.
Notable hills in the area include:
Mealaisbhal (Lewis, Uig)
Clisham and Clisham Horseshoe (North Harris)
Uisgneabhal Mor (North Harris)
Tiorga Mor (Harris)
Roineabhal (South Harris)
Hecla (South Uist)
Beinn Mhor (South Uist)
Heaval (Barra)
