Norse settlement mounds on the South Uist machair, with an on-site QR code for the Outer Hebrides Unearthed app
Bornais (Bornish) is a group of settlement mounds on the machair of South Uist, about a 30-minute walk along the machair from Cill Donnain (Kildonan). Canmore records Norse houses here, and the mounds were the site of a large Viking Age settlement that included a substantial hall.
The site is Location C on the Outer Hebrides Unearthed app: scan the QR code on site to see a reconstruction of the hall. There is limited parking at the end of the track; watch for rabbit burrows and keep to the thin path through the crops in summer.
