Otternish

Otternish is the former North Uist terminal for the ferry to Berneray, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.[1] The slipway lies 6 miles (10 km) north of Lochmaddy, and is situated within the parish of North Uist.[2] Otternish is situated on the B893,[3] and when the Berneray causeway was completed in December 1998, the slipway was no longer needed. Ancient human remains were found here in 1870.[2][4] At a site 50 yards to the north of the discovery, a Viking ship burial was also found in the early 20th century.[5]
