Cairnbann and Kilmartin Glen

Just an hour south of Oban, to the north of Lochgilphead and the Kintyre peninsula, lies one of Britain's most important concentrations of prehistoric and bronze age remains. There are more than 800 ancient monuments here, 150 of which are prehistoric. Kilmartin Glen has been populated for at least the last 5000 years, and a huge part of its impressive history is visible in the landscape today - from ancient rock art, bronze age burial chambers and medieval castle to World War 2, there is enough here to keep you occupied for days.

The mysterious carvings at Cairnbaan date back about 5,000 years. A variety of different markings can be found here across three separate rocky outcrops. Its carvings are unique in their character – though we can’t be sure what they mean the carvings are reached by an excellent wooded path, and are best viewed in the late afternoon, when low light can help pick out their detail.
