Kilmartin Glen

One of the most interesting and enigmatic Historic Sites in Scotland is Kilmartin Glen. Predating the Pyramids of Egypt, there are over 350 Ancient Monuments  including burial cairns, rock carvings, and standing stones within 6 miles of Kilmartin Village, where you will find Kilmartin House Museum, located in an old manse in the village. Some of the monuments can be seen without much dificulty, and without too much walking, as one mile south of the village is the Kilmartin Glen Visitors Car Park, and adjacent to it are the Nether Largie Stones,a group of standing stones,  however it is well worth venturing further to appreciate the scale of the Settlements at Kilmartin Glen.

I have taken several Tour Groups to Kilmartin Glen over the past few years.

Kilmartin Glen is situated on the Oban to Lochgilphead Road (A816) about 45 minutes south of Oban.
