Description
Welcome to Outer Hebrides Unearthed ( Ulaidhean na h-eileanan), the home of virtual archaeological exploration in the Outer Hebrides. Discover more about life across the Outer Hebrides’ diverse landscapes from the machair to the moorland, over 6000 years of history and prehistory, 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.
This app also supports extra augmented reality content as an AR companion app for the forthcoming Uist Unearthed book.
Explore 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 four incredible archaeological sites such as the Viking longhouse at Bornais, or Cill Donnain wheelhouse are available to explore, and we will shortly be adding new destinations and reconstructions for Barra and Harris, so be sure to keep the app so you can enjoy these exciting updates! You’ll also be able to browse other archaeological resources and discover more of what the Outer Hebrides has to offer. Share your stories and experiences via social media remembering to use the hashtag #OuterHerbridesUnearthed - we’d love to see your photos and discoveries.

I've tried a few of these augmented reality things. This is probably the best one I have seen. It could be a bit better advertised, and the trigger point could be easy to miss if you didn't know what you were looking for, but the app itself is really very excellent. Really brings the past to life in a fun and informative way
