The Daily Record has returned with our first Walk of the Week of the summer season. As we enter June, it only seems fitting to choose a beach for the latest edition of our weekly series. It
is no secret that Scotland's beaches are some of the most picturesque and idyllic in the world. We previously rounded up the best bays across the country for 2025. Today, however, we
are shining a light on something of a hidden gem. If you want mesmerising views and true peace and quiet, Uig Sands might be the place for you. Also known as Uig Beach and Ardroil Sands, the
bay is tucked away on the Isle of Lewis. It is situated on the western side of the island, around an hour away from its main town of Stornoway. Uig Sands was previously named among the 38
"best beaches in the world for a dreamy holiday" by Condé Nast Traveller. The experts stated that "a busy day at Uig is when two people show up at once" and praised the
beach's dramatic surroundings. The bay is famous for the site where a Viking chess set, including dozens of intricately carved chess pieces, was discovered in a tiny stone chamber near
its edge. Named the Lewis chessmen, some of the pieces are on display in the Kingdom of Scots at the National Museum of Scotland. Near the beach is also the renowned Uig Sands Restaurant,
which overlooks the magnificent bay and serves up local fish and shellfish. It also features rooms for customers looking to spend the night. According to the Visit Outer Hebrides website,
the primary way to access Uig Sands is via the village of Ardroil. There is a small track here that ends at a car park with toilets. Keep reading for some images that show why Uig Sands is a
must-visit this June. If you are looking for further travel inspiration, a selection of the Daily Record's previous Walks of the Week can be found here: DON'T MISS THE LATEST NEWS
