Bosta Beach - Bostadh
Bosta Beach is located in the north of Great Bernera (Scottish Gaelic: Beàrnaraigh Mòr) an island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Na h-Eileanan Siar, Alba). The island is connected to the north-west coast of Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Leòdhas) by a bridge. During storms in 1993 shifting sands revealed stonework. Subsequent excavations in 1996 uncovered a series of well preserved houses that would have been occupied in the 6th - 9th centuries AD. A replica Iron Age house matching those now buried is sited nearby.
The Iron Age House at Bosta is run by Bernera Historical Society. A visit to the House is often combined with a visit to Bernera Museum, which is also run by the Historical Society. There is a link to the Bernera Museum website below.
