Shinty died out in the Uists in the 1920s due to a difficulty in gaining access to the Camanachd Association's competitions and the rise of football after the First World War. The sport was once highly organised within the islands itself, with Sollas being the final champions of Uist in 1908. Due to a lack of trees, camans were made with sea weed stalks at the time.

Shinty returned to Uist on a permanent basis in the 1990s and the initiatives spearheaded at this time have resulted in a vibrant youth system alongside a senior team which claimed its first senior trophy by winning the Mod Cup in 2005 against Lewis Camanachd.

The club has the aim of entering senior competition on a fulltime basis in the near future.
