  Kilmartin Glen


  Scotland's richest prehistoric landscape.

Kilmartin

  The valley of Kilmartin Glen has been inhabited for the last 10,000 years and during that length of time has been shaped by human and natural influences into the rich and varied landscape we see today.
  The southern part of the glen is characterised by the flat open spaces of the Great Moss and the River Add estuary, while the 19th century Crinan Canal marks the south boundary.

River Add Dunchraigaig

  To the north, where the glen narrows, a multitude of prehistoric monuments litter the valley floor: standing stones, monoliths, burial mounds and stone circles.
  To find out more visit the prize winning Museum of Ancient Culture in Kilmartin; from the museum there is a walk that leads to some of the glen's most fascinating monuments.
