Ardveenish is a small, peaceful village situated approximately seven miles northeast of Castlebay. As the hub of the island, Castlebay offers a wide range of essential services and amenities, including a combined primary and secondary school, a community centre with swimming pool, a supermarket, post office, hospital, and both GP and dental surgeries. The area also features several hotels, cafés, and local businesses that thrive particularly during the busy summer months, when the island welcomes a steady influx of visitors. Castlebay also serves as the main ferry terminal for the island, with Caledonian MacBrayne operating daily sailings from Oban during the summer season, and a reduced schedule in winter. Additionally, a smaller ferry connects Ardmhor, located on the east coast of Barra, with Eriskay, offering further access to the Uists and beyond. Regular flights also operate between Barra and both Glasgow and Benbecula. Remarkably, Barra's airport is one of the few in the world where scheduled flights land on the beach, using the cockle sands as a natural runway — a unique and memorable experience for travellers.
