The Clava Cairns near Culloden are a remarkable group of Bronze Age stone circles and passage graves dating from around 2000 BC — among the best-preserved prehistoric monuments in Scotland and the inspiration for the Craigh na Dun standing stones in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, which has brought thousands of additional visitors to the site. The combination of stone circles, ring cairns, and cup-and-ring rock carvings makes this one of the most atmospheric prehistoric landscapes in the Highlands. Hotels in Inverness provide easy access to Clava Cairns alongside Culloden Battlefield, creating a compelling historical day trip to a site of immense time-depth.
