[edit] Machrie Moor
Machrie Moor is the site of a number of neolithic structures dating back up to 4500 years ago. The Standing Stones were dated back to approximately 2500 years ago but excavations in the 1980s uncovered elaborate timber structures and stone circles which dated back even further in history.
