Cemetery Saturday

Clava Cairns near Inverness in the highlands of Scotland.

A ring of standing stones, with three large barrows or burial mounds, are thought to have been built over 4,000 years ago.

We visited on a cool day in mid-April, even in the bright sunshine we felt a pervading air of age-old mystery.
The Clava Cairns are nestled on the south side of the River Narn, a few miles from Culloden.
