Isle Of Benbecula
Benbecula is an island of the Outer Hebrides, in the Atlantic Sea off the west shore of Scotland. In the 2011 census it had a typically resident population of 1,283, with a large percent of Roman Catholics. It develops part of the location carried out by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar or the Western Isles Council. The island is about 12 km from west to eastern as well as a similar range from north to south. It lies in between the islands of North Uist as well as South Uist; it is linked to both by road causeways. Traveling to any one of the various other Hebridean islands, or to the British mainland, is by air or sea. Benbecula Airport on the island has day-to-day flights to Glasgow, Stornoway as well as Barra. A direct solution to Inverness was presented in 2006 yet ceased in May 2007. There are no straight ferryboat solutions from Benbecula to the landmass, however a solution operated by Caledonian MacBrayne from Lochboisdale on South Uist gives a five-hour crossing to Oban on the mainland, whilst another solution from Lochmaddy on North Uist offers a two-hour going across to Uig on the Inner Hebridean island of Skye, and also thus to the mainland using the Skye Bridge. Ferry services from the islands of Berneray (connected by embankment to North Uist) and also Eriskay (linked to South Uist) attach to the various other Outer Hebridean islands of Harris and Barra specifically. There is a dense collection of lochs across almost the whole island, and almost all of the island is below 20 metres in altitude.
