From 1827 until 1897 this historic building was the Courthouse and Jail for all the islands from Harris down to Barra. Today the atmosphere is much more relaxed and all the guests who stay here compliment Mrs. Johnson on her excellent meals. You may even hear her husband playing the bagpipes particularly if there's a competition coming up.
Lochmaddy is the ideal base from which to explore the Uists and Benbecula. You can go bird watching in the nature reserves, take a trip to look for otters and seals or find yourself a deserted golden beach.

LOCATION:

The Old Courthouse is within walking distance of the ferry terminal in Lochmaddy. Follow the main road up through the village until you reach the Grocery/Post Office on your left. Take the road which branches off to the right, go down past the old Youth Hostel and you will soon see the house on your left, next to the new courtroom.

A further 300 metres down the road is the Uist Outdoor Centre which is run by her son Niaill who provides a wide range of watersports and outdoor activities.
