Kilmartin
 The village of Kilmartin
lies at the northern end of Kilmartin
Glen in Argyll, on the A816 that runs from
Lochgilphead, to the south of Kilmartin, to Oban.
The Kilmartin Glen area is famous for its many ancient monuments and the Museum of Ancient Culture,
which is located within Kilmartin House, gives details of the area and the many historical monuments that can be
found there.
The church dates from 1835 and within the churchyard are
many carved grave slabs, some of the oldest in Scotland. There are also a couple
of carved crosses that used to stand outside the church, but are now inside for
their protection.
In 1314 Robert the Bruce
gave the land round Kilmartin to Sir Colin Campbell.
