A small island in the Western Isles archipelago, Scotland. Benbecula lies between the islands of North and South Uist and is connected to both of them by causeway; the three conjoined islands are colloquially known as 'the Long Island'. Benbecula has a small airport-cum-RAF base; as well as providing domestic air services this services the missile tracking base on Hirta, largest island in the St Kilda Group in the North Atlantic.
