Acharn Stone Circle is a prehistoric monument in a picturesque hillside position overlooking Loch Tay nestled amid the mountains. This stone circle, along with others nearby, is among some of the earliest signs of civilisation you find in Britain.

This ancient stone circle from the Bronze Age, built several millennia before the beginning of the Christian era, is neither as impressive nor nearly as famous as the legendary English "Stonehenge" on the plains near Amesbury (which is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; if you're interested, see =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/960007 ). But it can be visited without the tourist crowds that are typical there.

A small, almost unknown and forgotten 'stonehenge'.
