For any integer k, we prove the existence of a uniquely k-colourable graph of girth at least g on at most k(12(g+1)) vertices whose maximal degree is at most 5k(13). From this we deduce that, unless NP = RP, no polynomial time algorithm for k-Colourability on graphs G of girth g(G) greater than or equal to log\G\/13 log k and maximum degree Delta(G) less than or equal to 6k(13) can exist. We also study several related problems.
