Rare artefacts go on display for first time in Lewis

A rare collection of objects, representing thousands of years of island life, are to go on display in Lewis.

Forty artefacts are being loaned from National Museums Scotland to exhibitions at Comunn Eachdraidh Nis (Ness Historical Society) and the Kinloch Historical Society Museum.

The items, found at sites across Lewis, range from the Neolithic to Viking Age and include a 2,500-year-old pot that was found buried in peat near Achmore.

An intricately-decorated bronze buckle, thought to have been worn by a Viking during their journey to Scotland, is also included in the loan.
