There are no straight ferry services from Benbecula to the mainland, but a service operated by Caledonian MacBrayne from Lochboisdale on South Uist supplies a five-hour crossing to Oban on the landmass, whilst an additional service from Lochmaddy on North Uist provides a two-hour crossing to Uig on the Inner Hebridean island of Skye, as well as thus to the landmass by means of the Skye Bridge. Ferry services from the islands of Berneray (linked by embankment to North Uist) and also Eriskay (linked to South Uist) link to the various other Outer Hebridean islands of Harris as well as Barra specifically. There is a dense collection of lochs across almost the whole island, and nearly all of the island is listed below 20 metres in altitude.
