A 30-minute walk along the machair from Cill Donnain leads you to Bornais, and the site of a grand Viking Age hall that once stood proud in the landscape. Scan the QR code with the Uist Unearthed app and step inside the banqueting chamber to learn more about this well-connected and prestigious site at the centre of a complex international trade network. Watch the animations to discover the craftwork that took place here and step around the long crackling fireplace: a perfect spot for feasting, stories, and games. Watch out for rabbit burrows as you explore the site! Look out for a thin path through the crops cultivated in the summer months.
