kilmartin glen
Often completely missed by sailors due to its inland location,
Kilmartin Glen and the surrounding area is considered by many
to be the premier archaeological site within the UK. There are
more than 350 ancient monuments within a six mile radius of the
village of Kilmartin, of which more than 150 are prehistoric. At the
centre of this extraordinary concentration of monuments lies the
award winning Kilmartin House Museum (www.kilmartin.org),
a world class centre for archaeology and landscape interpretation
established to protect, investigate and interpret this internationally
important archaeological landscape and the artefacts that have
been found there. The closest point of waterborne access to the
Glen is the Crinan Canal, although this is still some three miles
away. Sailors can also take a bus or taxi from Crinan, Ardfern Yacht
Haven or Craobh Marina which all lie within a 15 minute journey.
