The Kilmartin Valley, Argyll, contains a remarkable number of
features from prehistoric times. These include burial cairns.
Five cairns: Glebe Cairn, Nether Largie North, Nether
Largie Mid, Nether Largie South and Ri Cruin are set
in a line running SSW from the village of Kilmartin. There was
at least one other cairn in this line, but this has been robbed
of all its stone.
A short distance from this line of cairns is the seperate cairn
of Dunchraigaig.
