Kilmartin
In the tiny village of KILMARTIN, the old manse adjacent to the village church now houses an enlightening Museum of Ancient Culture (daily 10am–5.30pm; 
www.kilmartin.org ; £4.60) devoted to the nearby archeological sites. The café is equally enticing, with local home-baked produce on offer, which you can wash down with heather beer (also open early evening Thurs– Sat). The nearby church is worth a brief reconnoitre, as it shelters the badly damaged and weathered Kilmartin crosses, while a separate enclosure in the graveyard houses a large collection of medieval grave slabs of the Malcolms of Poltalloch.
