Description
Improved Version
Welcome to Uist Unearthed ( Ulaidhean Uibhist ), the home of virtual archaeological exploration in the Outer Hebrides. Discover the archaeology of Uist like never before, using exciting Augmented Reality technology and a GPS enabled map to track your location along the Hebridean Way. Capture and share moments with family and friends as you explore and interact with Uist’s incredible archaeological sites.
Available from Summer 2021, the first site that has been interpreted is the fascinating Bronze Age settlement of Cladh Hallan, South Uist - where some of the earliest known mummified bodies in Europe were discovered. Augmented Reality lets you see the original settlement, as it would have been 3000 years ago, in the modern day landscape. Enjoy, for the first time, detailed 3D reconstructions which have never before been produced of this internationally significant site.
A further six incredible archaeological sites will be added over the coming months, so be sure to keep the app so you can enjoy these exciting updates!

Share your stories and experiences via social media remembering to use the hashtag #UistUnearthed - we’d love to see your photos and discoveries.

Adds dimension to a tour
My dad and I downloaded this app as a part of our Outer Hebrides tour. This augmented reality gave us a great tourist stop with a decent hike, and felt like a respectful way to gain a museum experience in protected land.
