		This minor road leads you to the landward end of a 350m long causeway built in 1962 to connect the island of Baleshare with North Uist.
		Most of the island's small population is congregated along the eastern shore overlooking North Uist, or in a line of crofts and cottages that straggle along a road running the length of the northern half of the island.
		Baleshare means east township and the island was the first in the Western Isles to turn kelp collection into an economic activity.

		The land the house is surrounded by is property of the township of Baleshare.
		Before the causeway to Baleshare was built, the Baleshare people used the land to graze their livestock on.
		In order to ensure that their cattle were kept in order, the Baleshare people allowed a number of people to settle on the shore line.

	Baleshare Causeway
		Built in 1962 by William Tawse Ltd contractors with Sir Alexander Gibb as consulting engineers, it completed the initial phase of causeway construction in the Uists, then run by Inverness-shire County Council.
		The link with the main island has helped maintain Baleshare's population which stood at 55 in 1991.
		It had fallen from 67 ten years earlier but it is significant that other formerly inhabited islands which failed to get fixed links for example, Taransay and Scarp became deserted after 1962.

		Baleshare measures six kilometres by three kilometres and the island is known for its long sandy beach.
		There was once a western township and, reputedly, a western island, Balesiar, washed away by a tidal wave in the sixteenth century, over which it was possible to walk to the Monarch Islands at low tide.
		Baleshare was the first place in the Western Isles to turn kelp collection into an economic activity.

		The house looks due west towards the island of Baleshare (NG 798 625) which is on the western sea board of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
		The house is well over 100 years old and before it was renovated it was the local postmans house and boat crossing point to Baleshare Island.
		In the 1950’s a causeway link was established between mainland North Uist and Baleshare to the west.

	Uists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		My objective was a private hostel next to the island of Baleshare and after loading up in a fortuitously found mini supermarket and supplementing this with a pack of Hot Smoked Salmon from a smoking workshop at the side of the road, I arrived at a small but very comfortable hostel next to the sea.
		The owner called in at about 9:00 pm and commented how he had earlier seen me speeding past as he worked on one of his crofts.
		The next morning I toured Baleshare with curlew and oystercatchers swooping alongside me before heading south with that lovely wind behind me as I cycled through the low lying land and lochans of Benbecula and into South Uist.

		Four sites were then sampled (the sand-cliff sites of Baleshare, on the island of the same name off the west coast of North Uist and Hornish Point, South Uist and the deflation sites of South Glendale, South Uist and Newtonferry, North Uist) within a rigorously-defined research framework.
		Tapestry excavation, that is the excavation and recording of a strip of deposits along an exposed face, was the preferred method of investigation because it did not expose any more of the site to erosion than had previously been exposed.
		At Baleshare, the deposits investigated were chiefly later Bronze Age; following abandonment (roughly 200 radiocarbon years) of the Period I cultivated soil Period II represented extensive, manured, cultivated fields in the vicinity of a settlement now lost to the sea.

		They had lived for generations on Baleshare - a tidal island off the west coast of North Uist.
		The Baleshare crofts comprised on average 10 to 15 acres - large enough by island standards - but incapable of maintaining five families.
		The normal pattern was for one son to remain on the croft and the others to move elsewhere, but in this case the whole family group had decided to move to Cape Breton.

		For the Seil island group, the 1991 figures are for the combined area covering the islands Seil and Easdale, while the 2001 figures cover only the island of Seil itself.
		The reverse was true for the island of Baleshare which had sufficient residents and households to be an island group by itself in 1991 but, in 2001, had to be combined with the island of North Uist.
		In order to keep tables 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b as simple as possible, Baleshare has not been shown separately and is included in the North Uist island group for both 1991 and 2001.

		About 300 live in the largest village, Lochmaddy which is very pleasantly situated.
		Off the coast lie inhabited islands: Berneray, Baleshare and Grimsay although many islands near to North Uist once supported a population - Pabbay, Boreray, Vallay, Kirkibost and the Monach Islands.
		The Monachs became true islands due to an exceptional tide one night which destroyed the causeway to them (which was useable at low tide).

	Overview of Baleshare Causeway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A single-lane causeway over the shallow channel between the islands of Baleshare and North Uist, the Baleshare Causeway is one of a network of bridges and causeways which connect the islands in the Outer Hebrides.
		Built in 1962, this 350m (382 yard) causeway was constructed by William Tawse Ltd for Inverness-shire County Council, with Sir Alexander Gibb acting as consulting engineers.
		The link has undoubtedly helped maintain a population on Baleshare when so many of the other smaller Hebridean islands have become uninhabited.
