Bosta -Iron Age House

The iron age village first came to light after gales in 1993 exposed it. The University Edinburgh worked for many months and with the assistance of Historic Scotland to reveal a Norse settlement - which had actually been built over earlier Iron Age houses.
The replica of the Iron Age House which is currently open to visitors gives a real insight into how the residents of Bosta lived in The Iron Age.Date from 400 - 800 AD. It was actually gales in 1993 that exposed the remains
 
Found at Bosta on the northern end of Great Bernera was a network of 9 stone buildings all connected by tunnels. It is the most completely preserved late-Iron Age village ever found in this country

This was the perfect day in May 2009 the sky was blue - the sea was aqua and the sun shone.
 
This view from Bosta beach shows just how the light catches the aqua marine blue sea. Its such a peaceful, tranquil beach.
