For a really fascinating read about the ecology of the Western Isles see " The Hebrides" by Boyd & Boyd. J. Morton Boyd was a protegé of the great Fraser Darling.
As an outsider, it's very difficult to divest the elements of government propaganda, environmental activism, and socialized or subsidized farming with the hard-earned economic gains realized by crofters. Under all the glitz and polish, the crofters actually work for a living, unlike these university-educated pencil pushing agronomists and activists. It's sad that their reach is even to the ends of the earth, which North Uist really is. These people have taken an historical and vital link to subsistence agriculture and turned it into a modern case study on agribusiness that is part of the Green agenda. Scotland used to be better than this.
