| Replica Bronze Age Round House at Brodick Castle | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 24th Aug 2016 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Lovely visit, we met the Bronze Age re-enactment chappie who turns out to be a retired Church of Scotland minister strangely enough.

| Kings Cave | Cave or Rock Shelter | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 23rd Aug 2016 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Pretty strenuous circular walk, down and up the cliff. The northern path is easier so perhaps take that on the way back. Cave impressive and some of the carvings easily visible | 11 | 8 |
| Auchagallon | Stone Circle | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 23rd Aug 2016 | 4 | 4 | 4 | I though this was perhaps a bit boring but the family liked it. I think it's the tiny enclosed off area that spoils the ambience. | 11 | 7 |

| North Sannox Farm | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 21st Aug 2016 | 2 | 3 | 3 | All the forest trees have been felled so has a very stark, 'post apocalyptic' vibe over the whole hillside now.
