Series 15 | Episode 5 | Bodies in the Dunes, Outer Hebrides

Watch this episode now on 4oD Series 15

In 2005, a major storm eroded a dune next to the beach at Allasdale, Barra, exposing human remains.

They were first noticed by Barra artist Moira Bard and identified as human by a local doctor, after which a team of archaeologists was called in.

The site was clearly at risk from further erosion, so Historic Scotland funded an urgent rescue dig.
