As you’ll have seen in today’s headlines, islanders on South Uist, Eriskay and Benbecula are set to take control of their estate in Scotland's biggest ever community land buyout.

Beacons are to be lit throughout the islands tonight in celebration – weather permitting I assume!

If you live on South Uist, Eriskay or Benbecula this is the perfect time to start blogging! It would be great to hear from you at the moment. Tell us what the deal means for you – and tell us about the celebrations too!

We do have a couple of bloggers from South Uist and Eriskay, though they’ve not been heard of for a while. Please get back in touch!
