Tolsta Chaolais (also Tolastadh Chaolais, Tolstadh a' Chaolais) is a village on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It consists of about forty houses, clustered around Loch a' Bhaile, about a mile from the A858 road between Callanish and Carloway. The name has a Norse element, Tolsta, combined with a Gaelic element, Caolas, and means "Farm by the Strait".[1] Tolsta Chaolais is in the parish of Uig,[2] and has a building as a place of worship for all denominations.[1]
In 2013, the village was the location of much of the filming for the children's programme Katie Morag.[3]
