Fuday Wreck, Sound of Barra, Western Isles

In conjunction with the University of St. Andrews, Headland undertook the survey and assessment of a nationally important shipwreck off the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. The ship has initially been identified as a likely Dutch-built trading vessel dating to the 16th or early 17th century. The vessel is possibly one of the oldest known wrecks in Scottish waters and recommendations have been made to Historic Scotland regarding the future recording and conservation of the wreck.
