Bosta Beach - Isle of Lewis

Extract from a 60 minute DVD of a visit to the Isle of Lewis in March 2009 called Blackhouse Weekend, containing video taken around the restored thatched blackhouse village of Gearannan, where we stayed - ancient relics like the pictish broch at Dun Carloway, and the Standing Stones at Callanish and a visit to the town of Stornoway and its castle grounds.
The Outer Hebrides are a string of islands sitting remotely on the western edge of Europe, exposed to the full mercy of the Atlantic breakers.
Lewis has been populated for over 5,000 years, and there are many ancient relics to be found on this wonderful haunting island.
This clip is taken at the northwest corner of Great Bernera where an ancient iron age village was exposed when this part of the coast was subjected to the full force of an Atlantic storm in the 90s.
A restored Iron Age house was built in a corner of the site.

We visited Bosta Beach in 2001. It was great to make the trip again through your fine video. Thank you.

We visited Bosta Beach just a couple of weeks ago and were lucky enough to meet the lady who looks after the house. What a facinating woman.Though some may say she is crazy to sit there everyday in all weathers. I personally think she's anything but. I wish I could find an excuse to sit on Bosta Beach practically every day of the year.

I had the privelidge of living and working on Lewis for a 7yr period and this was one of the places I was lucky enough to take my lunch break. There is nowhere like it and I miss Lewis every day.

That really is an idyllic place - and a super video, nicely narrated.
