Description

Walk amongst a circle of standing stones and discover this ancient passage grave, dating back 4,000 years. Corrimony Chambered Cairn is a Clava type cairn in a remarkable state of preservation. It demonstrates the skill and planning of its builders: considerable resources went into the construction of its grave, and unlike at Clava, much of the passages roof survives. The cairn is situated in a glen, with pleasant surroundings of birch wood and cultivated land. There may well have been a prehistoric settlement close by. Corrimony Chambered Cairn is free to visit and open year-round.
