"How many museums can you go to where you can examine a Bronze Age pot and look out of the window and see the burial mound where it came from?"
(Tony Robinson - Time Team)
Kilmartin Glen is home to over 800 internationally significant prehistoric and early historic sites and monuments dating back over 5000 years, making it mainland Scotland's most important archaeological landscape.
Monuments include rock art, standing stones, Neolithic and Bronze Age burial cairns and Dunadd Hill Fort, home to the earliest Kings of Scotland.

The story of Scotland's rise as a nation begins here
The Museum continues to carry out archaeological surveys and its excavations are uncovering new and exciting artefacts.
The Museum also collects and cares for many of the archaeological objects that are found, by chance or excavation in Argyll.
Visitors are able to enjoy and learn about these artefacts in the Museum gallery and step outside into the landscape to discover the sites and monuments where they were uncovered.
Also on site is an award winning cafe and shop stocked with jewellery, art, cards and craftwork from local artisans. The bookshop provides a range of fiction and reference books, with a local or Scottish theme.
