Thanks for that.

The following sites under Caithness, Inverness & Elsewhere would become Clava Cairns.

Avielochan, Aviemore, Bruiach, Carn Irenan, Carn Daley, Clava Cairns (possibly renamed as Balnuaran of Clava to distinguish the site name from the site type?), Daviot (also posted as Mains of Daviot), Druidtemple, Kinchyle of Dores, Mains of Clava NW, Mains of Clava SE, Gask (also posted as Mains of Gask), Corrimony, Croftcroy, Culburnie, Culloden, Dalcross Mains, Delfour, Granish, Miltown of Clava.

Also, two sites under Aberdeenshire (they're actually in Banffshire) are Clava Cairns – Upper Lagmore and Marionburgh.

That's 25 Clavas – 11 passage graves, 9 ring cairns, and 5 which cannot be determined.

Nice one gw! :^)

I think it'd be helpful tho to make 'Clava Cairns' an alternative name of Balnuaran, as it is commonly known as that - being the most well-known. Otherwise peeps that only know it by that name are going to have trouble finding it here.

And ta, Eds!

Thanks greywether. Clava Cairn now exists as a site type and the other changes should follow soon.

Thanks
