Kilmartin Glen, Scotland

 
The sheep spotted Kilmartin Glen is speckled with cairns dating from around 3000 B.C, standing stones (Ballymeanoch), a stone circle (Temple wood), and cup and ring marked rock art. A walk between fields, particularly during the lambing season from March to May, on designated rights of way gives children the opportunity to exert energy, enjoy nature as well as appreciate “old rocks”, considered one of the most remarkable collections of early monuments in entire the UK. Visit the Kilmartin Hou... Read Morese, church manse turned archaeological museum, located next to the church. And don't miss the 19th century carved grave slabs and crosses situated in the Kilmartin churchyard.

Getting There
 
Kilmartin is located 29 miles (46 km) from Oban on the A816.
When to Travel
 
The best time of the year to visit Oban and its environs is in spring and early summer from April-June. In the peak season, July-August, not only are there crowds, the weather is once again fickle. It is just as likely to be hot and sunny as it is cold and wet.
Things to Keep in Mind
 
Dress in layers. In Scotland, the weather can change several times in the course of a single day.
