A black and white world for today's #StandingStoneSunday.
Aviemore 'Clava' cairn; the remains of a kerbed cairn (which likely had a central mound and chamber), surrounded by a free-standing stone circle. It's in a neat little suburban setting now, with glimpses of the Cairngorm mountains beyond.
This visit March 2011.

The magnificent Balnuaran of Clava for today's #StandingStoneSunday. Three large cairns, each surrounded by stone circles, in the Nairn valley near Culloden. There is also a small kerbed cairn. Several of the stones are decorated with cup-marks. The site has given us the 'Clava cairn' type for a group of cairns spread over an area from the Cairngorms to the Black Isle. Just wonderful.
This visit October 2010.
Mains of Clava North East for today's #StandingStoneSunday. A six foot plus single stone, it's possible there was a cairn here as well. It stands in a field a little to the northeast of the wonderful Clava cairns, in the Nairn valley near Culloden.
Visited October 2010. (Portrait, needs a click).
A suburban setting for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering;
Aviemore cairn and stone circle in the Scottish Highlands. A monument of the 'Clava' type, a kerb of stones enclosing a (now gone) burial cairn, with a surrounding stone circle. It's in a little suburban street now, but has views towards the Cairngorms.
This visit October 2010.
