Here you will discover the part the Clan Campbell played in the Wars of Scottish Independence and get the chance to see rifles which were supposedly used against the Jacobite soldiers. For those who love flowers and gardens, there’s also a wonderful 16-acre Garden to explore.
Dunadd Fort
Dunadd Fort, the ancient and Royal Power Centre of Celtic Kings that travelled across the Irish Sea and made Scotland their home. Dunadd is a place steeped in our early histories. It’s first mentioned in AD 683, and was believed to be the stronghold of Dál Riata.
Kilmartin Glen
We'll get out for a nice short walk to see what is probably, the largest finding of cup and ring marked rock art in the country. These are essentially rock carvings dating back to over 4000 years ago. Now it’s time for the Outlander fans to have their fun and pretend they’re Claire and Jamie discovering each other at some ancient standing stones. This very impressive collection of historical standing stones, stone circles and burial cairns is believed to be over 5000 years old and is one of the finest displays anywhere in Scotland.
