Our next excursion was into Kilmartin, a small village noted
for its standing stones. We found the archaeological museum and each handed
over the £5 entrance fee. What we actually saw were replicas of monuments and
stones that were mounted on walls; while the actual ones were being placed in
storage while the museum was undergoing an overhaul. We listened to the sounds
of bagpipes through headphones until the computer in charge of the box decided
that it had been awake for long enough and decided to crash. We did, however,
learn to press flour by grinding two gigantic stones together. I think that we must
have used all the powder in the baskets in order to get our money’s worth. Nearby
there were some excellent walks with stunning scenery that could have been
completed; but once again time was pressing on so these were shunned in favour
of other archaeological artefacts.
