Cairnpapple Hill (HS)
Cairnpapple Hill (HS)
One of the most important prehistoric monuments in Scotland, used as a burial and ceremonial site from about 3000 to 1400 BC.
Stand on a once-sacred hilltop where people first held rituals and raised monuments some 5,500 years ago. You can visit a Neolithic henge, see the site of a great timber circle and descend into a Bronze Age cist grave (now covered by a modern, domed chamber).The panoramic views stretch from Bass Rock in the east, to the Isle of Arran in the west.
