Near Cairnbaan, Argyll
Uncover some extraordinary Neolithic rock art in a glen rich with remnants of Scotland’s prehistoric inhabitants.
We can only speculate as to the original significance of these cup and ring marks. The markings at Achnabreck are believed to be about 5,000 years old.
This is one of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in Scotland. Spread over several outcrops, the carvings are extensive and complex, with spirals and massive multiple ring marks, some reaching over 1m across.
