About Griminish

Griminish is a linear crofting settlement among the lochans of south west Benbecula, about 1¼ miles north of Liniclate and 2 miles south of Balivanich. Another Griminish lies in the north west of North Uist, so the Benbecula one is the one with the HS7 5QA postcode. The Gazetteer for Scotland notes that Benbecula Parish Church is here, in a building first put up as a Free Church in 1886, and Historic Environment Scotland lists the church and manse at category C.

School arrangements here run south: the council's directory puts Griminish in the catchment of Iochdar School in South Uist, alongside Liniclate and Torlum, rather than the Balivanich school. Secondary pupils go to Sgoil Lionacleit at Liniclate, 1¼ miles away. NHS Western Isles lists the Benbecula Medical Practice under the same HS7 5QA postcode.

The W19 Benbecula local bus stops at Griminish between Torlum and the hospital. The Crofting Commission counts 24 crofts at Griminish, filed under the parish of South Uist.
