Old Lochmaddy School is the host of the Àrainneachd Alainn environment exhibition, where visitors can learn more about the geology, habitats, and wildlife that make the Uist archipelago special. Hands-on rock specimens, microscopes, video displays, and information panels form the basis of an interactive exhibit that keeps education alive in a former village primary school.
