Ri Cruin
Date Added: 14th Oct 2012
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes on 13th Oct 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Ri Cruin submitted by caradoc68 on 23rd Feb 2012. This lovely cairn dates from the Bronze Age and is pretty new when it comes to the Kilmartin landscape. Hidden away in some trees just of the beaten track with its two kist's, this Cairn has a lot to offer with its large Kist's and its rock art of axeheads and possibly a caving of a boat in one of these kists !!.

Kilmichael Glassary 1 submitted by hamish on 31st Jul 2005. What a great sight this is on the edge of a housing estate. For all the modernity around it is still enthralling to be here so much to see. Try counting them.

Log Text: Beautiful spot low hill looking down to Loch Lomond in the north. Rowan tree growing out of the stones, large entry stones appear to be on the eastern end. physically slumped in several areas. Trudged through boggy field down from the whangie (a natural rock formation) which overlooks this area adding to the ambience following the forest fenceline.

Log Text: This area had been used for many years 1904 to 1921 as a 9 hole golf course and curling pond. Maps of the golf course show the round features in the middle of the fairway for the 6th hole. Possibly then a water trap. The golf course went into decline after the war. The golf course and curling pond are on land belonging to the local hotel. The landscape has therefore been significantly altered through modern interaction. A great day out fascinating stories of vikings, railway buildings and moden social history but no ancient stone circles. Fantastic day delving around.
