ASKERNISH (AISGERNIS) is approximately 2 miles (3km)from Daliburgh village on the main A865 which has local shopping, schooling and medical facilities. Lochboisdale village and Ferry port only 5 miles (7km) away has further social, shopping and dental facilities. Further access to local amenities can be found at Balivanich on the Isle of Benbecula 26 miles, (40km) including the main hospital. There are scheduled flights from the airport at Balivanich with connections throughout the UK, Highlands and Islands. There is a local bus service with connections to the ferries at Lochboisdale and Lochmaddy, and Eriskay and throughout the Islands.
The Newly refurbished 18 Hole Old Tom Morris Golf Course is only few hundred yards from the house. Askernish is a fine challenge for any grade of golfer. First laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1891, it has recently been restored to its original position under the guidance of Gordon Irvine (Master Greensman) and Martin Ebert (Architect) using entirely traditional design principles. Enviromental experts have already hailed the Askernish as "the most natural links course in the world": the dunes' natural contours form the fairways, no artificial chemicals are used in maintenance, and during winter months sheep and cattle graze the course! The unique nature of the Askernish links and the culture of the Western Isles make South Uist a wonderful place to live or visit for all ages.
SOUTH UIST is 20 miles long and is rich in archaeological sites and historic buildings and has two RSPB nature reserves on South Uist and Benbecula. This is the birth place of Flora MacDonald and Bonnie Prince Charlie sheltered in a forester's hut for three weeks in 1746 hiding from the Red Coats (Hanoverian Troops). The area is also renowned for its collection of ruined churches and chapels which date back to medieval times. The road runs down the whole of the western shoreline and in some elevated places St Kilda can sometimes be seen 60 miles out in the Atlantic. There are virtually miles and miles of open sandy beach, and is a great place to go beachcombing. The mountains of Thacla (606m) and Bein Mhor (620m) lie to the east of the island for the hill walking enthusiast. There are a large number of lochs for fishing enthusiasts with reportedly some of the best brown trout fishing in Europe. South Uist is also excellent for Deer, bird watching, cycling or outdoor enthusiasts. This is also where most of the crofting communities lie on the west coast but at the heads of the three east coast sea lochs, Loch Sgiopoirt, Loch Aineort and Loch Baghasdail (Lochboisdale). With the introduction of the pilot RET scheme in October 2008 this is expected to reduce ferry costs to the islands substantially. The Western Isles is also one of the safest places to live in the UK.
