Scolpaig (Scottish Gaelic: Sgolpaig) is a district on the north-west coast of the island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. In 2018 it was unsuccessfully proposed as the site of a spaceport backed by the Scottish government. In 2019 it was again proposed as the site of a spaceport. Construction work started in 2024. Scolpaig Tower is a folly that was erected at Loch Scolpaig as part of famine relief works in about 1830.
