Buaile nam Bodach, Isle of Barra, HS9 5UU, United Kingdom
Deserted VillageBalnabodachBalnabodach is a small township on the east side of Barra, its present-day houses strung out along either side of the road, overlooking Loch Obe. Down by the shore of the loch are the remains of two earlier settlements, and it is here that the present archaeological studies are focused. It is a wonderful location, with houses situated on either side of a small stream which runs down the hillside, across a patch of marshy ground covered with sea-pink flowers, and into the loch. The loch itself provides a safe harbourage, being entered only by a 400m long, almost vertically-sided channel (a sea dyke). In the past this would have provided protection not only from storms but also from hostile sea-raiders. In addition to providing a safe haven for fishing boats, the lochside settlement had a good supply of fresh water both from the stream and from a spring further upslope. Some of the gentler slopes near the loch provided suitable ground for small cultivation plots where potatoes and barley could be grown, there were peat deposits from which peat could be dug and dried to provide fuel for the fire, and limited pasture for a few cows as well as extensive rough-grazing for sheep

A867, Isle of North Uist, UK
Dating back to 5000 BC, Barpa Langais (Barpa Langass) on the slopes of Ben Langass in North Uist, is the best preserved Neolithic chambered cairn in the Outer Hebrides.Containing a great mass of stones, it is four metres high and twenty-five meters in diameter, with a small chamber inside which served as communal tribal burial rather than used for a single leader. In Neolithic times, the cairn would have dominated a very different landscape of fertile fields of primitive barley and wheat instead of today’s blanket bog.From https://coast.scot/stories/barpa-langass-story/

The site has a modern toilet and shower block, car parking and an extensive grass area for tents and campervans. The site is located on Ardoil Beach which is a huge white sandy beach where wild swimming is possible (although it may take you a while to reach the water on low tide, or find any depth when you do as the sand is relatively flat and goes for miles). Locally you will find Carnish Beach which is another stunning white sandy beach and also Uig Sands Restaurant which serves up delicious sea food with incredible views. The site is run by the local community.

Built in 1885, this traditional blackhouse – a combined byre, barn and home – was inhabited until 1964 and has not been changed since the last inhabitant moved out. The museum is about 3 miles west of Barvas.The staff faithfully rekindle the central peat fire every morning so you can experience the distinctive peat-reek; there’s no chimney, and the smoke finds its own way out through the turf roof, windows and door – spend too long inside and you might feel like you’ve been kippered!At nearby Bragar, a pair of whalebones forms an arch by the road, with the rusting harpoon that killed the whale dangling from the centre.

Isle of Lewis, Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland, United Kingdom
From Lonely Planet:The Butt of Lewis – the extreme northern tip of the Hebrides – is windswept and rugged, with a very imposing lighthouse, pounding surf and large colonies of nesting fulmars on the high cliffs. There’s a bleak sense of isolation here, with nothing but the grey Atlantic between you and Canada. The main settlement is Port of Ness (Port Nis), which has an attractive harbour. To the west is the sandy beach of Traigh, which is popular with surfers.Just before the turn-off to the Butt at Eoropie (Eoropaidh), you’ll find St Moluag’s Church (Teampull Mholuidh), an austere, barnlike structure believed to date from the 12th century but still used by the Episcopal Church.
