South Lewis, Harris and North Uist is a large national scenic area (NSA) in the Western Isles of Scotland.

[7] Following the Second World War, a committee, chaired by Sir Douglas Ramsay, was established to consider preservation of the landscape in Scotland.

[10] Since this date there have been calls for further protection of the scenery of the area, although the Scottish Government rejected a proposal to create a national park on Harris in 2011.

[14] On North Uist the spectacular deep peatland supports a wide variety of vegetation and birds.

The settlement of Lochmaddy (an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic Loch nam Madadh) is a ferry terminal, and a harbour for the creel fishing and is used for salmon farms.
