Isle Of South Uist
South Uist is the second-largest island of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. At the 2011 census, it had a generally resident population of 1,754: a decline of 64 given that 2001. The island, alike with the rest of the Hebrides, is among the last remaining garrisons of the Gaelic language in Scotland and also the population-- South Uist's citizens are understood in Gaelic as Deasaich (Southerners)-- is about 90% Roman Catholic. The island is house to a nature reserve as well as a variety of sites of archaeological rate of interest, including one which is the just place in Great Britain where ancient mummies have been discovered. In the northwest, there is a rocket testing variety. In 2006 South Uist, together with neighbouring Benbecula and Eriskay, was associated with Scotland's biggest-ever area land buyout.
