Description
Clava Cairns are fascinating Bronze Age burial barrows, some 4,000 years old. These mysterious stone structures, consisting of three tombs, circles and standing stones, were precisely aligned with the winter solstice, demonstrating the advanced astronomical knowledge of the ancient builders.
The site gained additional popularity through the 'Outlander' series, inspiring the fictional Craigh Circle on Dun. Surrounded by picturesque forest, the barrows offer an unforgettable experience for lovers of history, archaeology and the beautiful landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
