Kirkibost (Template:Langx) is a low-lying island west of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.[1]
Geography
Kirkibost, along with neighbouring Baleshare, is covered by a machair system of coastal plains covered with shell sand, part covered by grass, with some sand dunes, fens and peat. Together with Baleshare, it forms part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[2] The small islands of Eilean Mòr, Bior-eilean and Sròmaigh lie between Kirkibost and North Uist.[3]
Wildlife
The island is important for corncrakes, various wading birds and overwintering wildfowl.[2]
Economy
Kirkibost has been cultivated in the past, but is now used only for seasonal cattle grazing.[2]
