How to get the best from Kilmartin in a week?

Although there is an awful lot going on in the valley itself... a little outside there are a number of classic sites if you have a car - eg:

And if you happen to approach from Inverary along Loch Fyne there is one of the most exquisite little stone alignments I've ever seen:

Many thanks Gladman, they look like unmissable sites. Clach an t-Sagairt reminds me a bit of the little wedge tombs we saw in West Cork. I've made a note of all four sites and, if viable, will take my laptop with me to use for reference. My companion has a small car which we will use when we need to but want to get as much walking in as we, or rather I, can manage.

Thanks again to everyone who has replied. All very helpful and much appreciated.
