Iochdar

Iochdar (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Ìochdair), also spelled Eochar, is a hamlet and community on the west coast of the island of South Uist, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

[1] It is the largest of several crofting settlements in the north-west of South Uist, and is located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) west of the A865 road.

[2] Iochdar is part of the 93,000 acres (38,000 ha) South Uist Estate, which was the subject of Scotland's largest community land buyout in 2006, and is now run by Stòras Uibhist.

After a community survey and a feasibility study, the group has completed a number of small projects, including a makeover of the playground and playing fields at the school.

Other attractions are Lovats Shop & Carnan Stores which sell a wide range of homeware and outdoor facilities.
