Standing stones and cairn near Kilmartin.









As a member of Clan MacCallum Malcolm Society I tested my DNA through Family Tree DNA. My results show my Scottish heritage started in Northern Ireland, thousands of years, ago. Today you can see a swath of this same DNA type across Northern Ireland and the Argyll!

Looks as though you found a couple of previously undiscovered cairns down by the burn Mael in the top photo, I wonder if these 2 are worth excavating, or shall we just put them down as per Jock's explanation, I think Jock's right on this occasion, however the second photo is of Glebe Cairn, the northern most in a series of 5 all in linear allignment, it was excavated in 1864, the major find was a necklace made from Jet, a black stone, now on display at the museum.
