I already have seen several of Keltic places so this one is not exceptional. On the other hand it is worth to see it. More

If you're into ancient sites, this is for you. Like Stonehenge or Maeshowe, these strange circular tombs & standing stones are beautiful and mysterious. From the Bronze Age, these stones were used for burial & rituals. It's a in a rural field, perfect for walking through & enjoying the scenery. There is no centre here but posted signs explain the...

My husband "discovered" this place after he did a little research while on our trip in Scotland...after enjoying Culloden Battlefield, we had just a little trouble finding this very nearby (travel a mile to the southeast from the battlefield) group of 3 ring circles, but were glad we did. After this, we searched for stone circles and cairns as we... More

If you like very old historic sites then I think the Clava cairns would be worth a visit if you are in the area. I do think this is a place that you should only visit if you have a real interest in very old historic sites or as I say in the area, as all there is to see... More

Visited area in July. It was very interesting and mysterious. Area was free for you to walk around and explore. No fences,no restricted areas to worry about. For anyone interested in being able to explore a Neolithic site unhindered, this area is a must do. More

The walk down was very charming, passing several farms and wooded areas and enjoying the Highland "Coos" and sheep. The Cairns are nestled down in the valley in a flat... More

Three cairns 4,000 years old, with displays explaining all. About 10 minutes from the Culloden Battfield, so a quick convenient stop off if you are in the area. More

I really enjoyed this well presented site. If you are interested in Neolithic history or in you have been to Stonehenge or the Orkneys and enjoyed it then I suggest a side trip to the Clava Cairns. The site contains 3 stone burial chambers built around 2000 BC which are fully accesible. In fact, you can walk into one of... More
