Kilmartin HouseFamily day out, Historic Sites & Monuments
|
Over 5,000 years of human history are traced across the Kilmartin valley. At least 150 prehistoric sites lie within six miles of this quiet village. There are enigmatic carved rocks, mysterious standing stones, impressive burial cairns and the fortress of the earliest Scottish Kings. But who were the early hunters, farmers and warriors and why did they leave behind such rich remains? Kilmartin House helps to answer these questions, and more, with artefacts from the sites and reconstructions of boats, bowls, bells and brooches. Hear prehistoric music, taste wild food, or relax in the green oak conservatory before going out to explore the ancient landscape
