Today’s lunch stop was a lovely picnic at the Clava Cairns.

The Clava Cairns were definitely a highlight of the tour. A combination of the yummy picnic, the mystique of the cairns, a bonding game with the tour group, and sunny weather made for an outstanding midpoint to our itinerary.

…and I was not alone in thinking that!

I’m not certain what these cairns are (and I don't think archaeologists are certain either), but they’re probably tombs.  They’re definitely old.

Maybe I was under the influence of Outlander, but I found this place quite mystical…
