{{lang-for|gd|Sgìr' Ùige agus Carlabhagh|Uig and Carloway|italics=no}} is one of the 11 wards of {{lang-for|gd|Comhairle nan Eilean Siar|Council of the Western Isles}}. Created in 2022, the ward elects two councillors using the single transferable vote electoral system and covers an area with a population of 1,820 people.

Boundaries

The ward was created following the 2019 Reviews of Electoral Arrangements which were instigated following the implementation of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018. The act allowed for the creation of single- and dual-member wards to allow for better representation of island areas. Sgìr' Ùige agus Carlabhagh was formed from the western portion of the previous Sgir' Uige agus Ceann a Tuath nan Loch ward. The ward centres around the towns of Breasclete, Callanish, Carloway and Uig and takes in an area in the west of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. It includes the remote and uninhabited Flannan Isles in the Atlantic Ocean.{{Cite web|url=https://boundaries.scot/sites/default/files/CNES_Final_Report_Reduced_0.pdf |title=Review of Electoral Arrangements; Na h-Eileanan an Iar Council Area |publisher=Boundaries Scotland |date=June 2021 |access-date=17 July 2024}}
