Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Dunchraigaig Cairn, located in Kilmartin Glen, Argyll, is a unique burial mound that stands out from the rest in the area. Unlike the typical Bronze Age cairns, Dunchraigaig has an unusual interior with remains of up to 10 individuals found in one cist. In 2021, Scotland's earliest animal carvings were discovered inside the cairn, including depictions of male red deer and other quadrupeds. This ancient site offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and is definitely worth a visit for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
