Day Trips from Inverness to Clava Cairns - page 3

Easily accessible via a 17-minute drive from Inverness, the bronze-age cemetery of Clava Cairns offers a look into Scotland’s prehistoric past. Day trip excursions stop by the exceptionally well-preserved passage graves and standing stones, with a professional guide to explain the site’s astronomical significance and burial traditions. While you walk through the ancient stone circles and admire the split boulders, a local driver takes care of stressful tasks like rural navigation and parking. Most tours also include a visit to the nearby Culloden Moor to learn about the 1746 Jacobite Rising.
