Kilmartin Part III

Following on from the adventures of Kilmartin...more pictures.

We headed over the road from Temple Wood to the Nether Largie stones.

Cup & Ring Markings
Finally, we wandered up the road to the ancient burial tombs. I didn't like those so much to begin with but, by the end, I really warmed to them.

Skylight
I think it originally gave me the heebies because the rubble and the skylight feels a bit like Auschwitz. The outside tombs were really lovely.





 

Spot Percy Rabbit?
 

Comfy in Here
There are standing stones all over this area of the country. We even found one by the side of the road on the way home.


And alpacas...


Did you know that people who are allergic to sheep's wool can wear alpaca because there's no lanolin in it? Interesting fact.

Was a long drive back along winding roads, through blizzards, in the dark. Certainly worth the drive, though. May pop back some day to see the rest.
