Uist Unearthed

Award-winning augmented-reality archaeology app from UHI bringing Hebridean Way sites such as Cladh Hallan to life

Uist Unearthed (now Outer Hebrides Unearthed) is a free archaeology app created by the Uist Virtual Archaeology Project, led by the archaeology team at UHI North, West and Hebrides with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. It uses augmented reality to reconstruct sites along the Hebridean Way on your phone, starting with the Bronze Age settlement at Cladh Hallan, South Uist, when it launched in 2021.

The app has a GPS map of heritage sites and visitor attractions, animations, 3D objects and bilingual Gaelic and English content, and won three British Archaeology Awards in 2022. Trails have since been added on Barra.
