    3rd cairn of 4 coming down from Kilmartin

    This is the third of 4 cairns on the walk down from Kilmartin. As such you are going to visit it anyway. The two on either side are slightly more interesting - but as it is there …

    Excellent access

    Walk along a well marked route to access this cairn, one of several in the Kilmartin glen. It is full of atmosphere and a board gives you some basic information about it if you don't want to visit the museum

    Fascinating

    Don't know if it's this Cairn, but one of the 3 you can go inside and see more information. Really eerie but brilliant and so quiet and peaceful.
