A Viking ship burial lies beside the old Berneray ferry slipway
At Otternish, where the Berneray ferry used to leave from until the causeway opened in December 1998, ancient human remains were found in 1870, and a Viking ship burial was uncovered fifty yards away in the early twentieth century.
Otternish, six miles north of Lochmaddy on the B893, was the North Uist end of the Berneray ferry until the causeway was completed in December 1998 and the slipway went quiet. It is older ground than it looks. Ancient human remains were found there in 1870, and at a site fifty yards to the north a Viking ship burial was discovered in the early twentieth century.
