Yes, I first posted in the Canada forum but a helpful person told me that Barra and South & North Uist are listed under Inverness, so I posted the same message there.

I think the 'helpful person'  was me - well I recall telling you they were in Invernessshire on your other thread   ;D

I think I know who might be able to help.

(Have just messaged the person)

That's cryptic  ;D

I know Lewis is in Ross and Harris and Barra and the Uist are in Inverness. The OP is interested in the Uists and Barra as far as I am aware.   I've been to all of them  ;D

Not sure why you've mentioned Lewis and Harris  ???
