My reaction to seeing Àird Uig for the first time was dismay. In the interests of national security Gallan Head has been completely fenced off and the landscape disfigured by the construction of ugly military style buildings, many of which are now decaying. However some of the buildings have been taken over and are kept in good repair and in use for housing and a hotel.
