Viking Boat Burial - Latest News

A number of videos have been made relating to the discovery during the summer of the Viking boat burial on West Ardnamurchan. Here are some of them:

The Daily Telegraph - here.

STV - here.

Associated Press - here.

...and it even got onto CBS News, briefly, here.

The Ardnamurchan Transitions Project, the grouping of archaeologists and students who have been working on the north coast for the last six summers, has a new website which has lots of information about their projects, including the boat burial. It's here.

Some of the archaeologists are hoping to return to the area in January, and have promised to spend an evening at the Kilchoan Community Centre describing the Viking boat burial in detail. From the start of their work, they have been keen to involve the community in everything they've done, so it will be an opportunity for us to make an input into their plans for the site.
