Right next to the road, just north east from Glennan and its various sites. Fantastic stones, oh for the re-erection of the very tall fallen stone.
Plenty cairns nearby, so my feet will visit this area again in the reasonably near future.

A wee jump from the bigger next door cairn will see you land on a cairn that is over 6.5m wide and almost 1m in height. Also like its neighbour there has been some houking to the centre. Hints of a kerb remain.
Overlooked by most, but another part of this countryside's jigsaw.

Straight up the track from the road and you'll walk straight into the standing stone. It appears to have been included in a ruined dry stane dyke, which will be very old as well.
Superb views for this 2.2m tall stone, plenty sites nearby for the next visit.

Slightly to the east of Glennan 1 is a cup marked slab (there appears to be lots of cup marked slabs in the area, another visit required). Nine cup marks can be seen, three are slightly larger.

Head east on the B840, just north of Kilmartin, and pull in at the second track track heading south. If you can get a reasonable run and can jump the gate, you'll land on the cairn.
Surrounded by wonderful scenery and prehistory Cairn 1 sits at over 11m wide being 1.5m tall. It has been houked revealing a probable cup marked cist cover at the centre of the site. Several kerbs remain in place.
Next to road, open the gate, no need to jump.
