This series of pictures was taken in 2000 around Kilmartin, Argyle and Bute, Scotland. There are many acient monolithic and stone age moniments in the area.

Kilmartin is situated about 8 miles north of Lochgilphead and 30 miles south of Oban, on the A816 in Mid-Argyll. It is a small village, set among gentle hills, with the sea (and great views to the islands) just over the hillside to the west.

The Kilmartin Valley is an area of enormous archaeological significance. There are more than 350 ancient monuments within a 6-mile radius of Kilmartin, and 150 of those are prehistoric, including standing stones, cairns and chambered tombs, some of the relics dating back 5000 years.
