Standing
Stones


Chambered
Cairn

Just a thirty minute drive from Water's Edge

An unusual group of chambered cairns and ancient standing stones dating back to 2,000 years BC- the Scottish early Bronze Age. Experiments indicate that the passages were built in exact alignment with sunset at the mid-winter solstice (as it was 4,000 years ago).

Why not visit Clava Cairns in the company of local archaeologist and tour guide, Graham Robins and if this sparks your interest, then further, tailor-made tours are available covering Moray and the Northern Highlands and all periods of history.
