Together with Baleshare, it forms part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[5] The small islands of Eilean Mòr, Bior-eilean and Sròmaigh lie between Kirkibost and North Uist.[3] WildlifeThe island is important for corncrakes, various wading birds and overwintering wildfowl.[5] EconomyKirkibost has been cultivated in the past, but is now used only for seasonal cattle grazing.[5] References1. ^NRS1C {{Commons cat|Kirkibost Island}}{{Hebrides}}{{coord|57|33|30|N|7|25|15|W|display=title|region:GB_type:isle}}{{WesternIsles-geo-stub}}2. ^Haswell-Smith, Hamish.
