United Kingdom · Europe · 57.53°N, 7.37°W

Baleshare is a flat tidal island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Baleshare lies to the south-west of North Uist. Its economics and community were boosted by the building of a causeway in 1962. The 350-metre (380 yd) causeway was built by William Tawse Ltd. The island is extremely flat by Hebridean standards, rising to only 12 metres above sea level and known for its long sandy beach. The two main settlements on the island are Samhla in the east and Teananachar to the west.
