Kilmartin Museum is located in Argyll on Scotland's beautiful west coast. There are more than 800 ancient monuments within a 6 mile radius of the village of Kilmartin, Argyll, and many of them are prehistoric. You can easily visit many of these sites and touch monuments such as stone circle, standing stones, and rock art, plus there are burial cairns to peek (or even clamber) inside! This extraordinary concentration and diversity of monuments distinguishes the Kilmartin Glen as an area of outstanding archaeological importance. How many museums can you visit where you can examine an artefact, then look out the window and see where it came from?
Kids can complete our Quest activity book, collect stamps throughout the exhibition, try out grinding wheat on an ancient quernstone and spinning wool, see what they would have looked like wearing the jet necklace and experience fascinating AV displays.
The Museum is located in Kilmartin Glen and has fascinating prehistoric burial cairns, rock art, standing stones and stone circles within walking distance.
A custodian of the artefacts that come from Kilmartin Glen, one of Scotland’s richest prehistoric landscapes, the Museum houses a collection with a Nationally Significant status, offering visitors of all ages a fascinating insight into the lives of our ancestors inhabiting the area over the last 12,000 years.
