Why it's Wildland

5.1

Kildonan is one of the beaches singled out on South Uist’s long western shore, where a succession of bays makes the coast worth exploring beyond a single stop.

Kildonan earns its place for its island-coast setting and its role in South Uist’s remarkable run of beaches. It is a good choice for unhurried coastal exploration, though specific access and facilities should be checked before setting out.
