The Clava Cairns are about 4,000 years old and were built to house the dead. The cemetery remained a sacred place in the landscape for millennia, and provides many clues to the beliefs of Bronze Age society.What remains today would have once been part of a larger complex. Two parts of the complex, Balnuaran of Clava and Milton of Clava, are open to the public. The sites contain a range of prehistoric burial monuments and the remains of a medieval chapel.This unmanned site is free to enter and, following Historic Scotlands dog policy, dogs are permitted on lead and must not be left unattended.

We stopped here as a little leg stretch and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the site and the well preserved nature of the cairns. Certainly worth the detour.
