Clava Cairns

FreeoutdoorCulloden, Inverness

4,000-year-old burial cairns aligned with winter solstice sunsets, the Outlander stone circles.

Free entry

Clava Cairns predates Stonehenge in atmosphere if not age. Three Bronze Age burial chambers sit in a birchwood clearing, aligned with extraordinary precision to the setting winter sun. They're free, rarely crowded, and properly eerie in low light.

Outlander fans recognise the standing stones immediately. Everyone else leaves wondering why no one sent them here sooner.
