The Grey Cairns of Camster are two large Neolithic chambered cairns located in the Highland region of Scotland. They are among the oldest structures in Scotland, dating to about 5,000 years ago. The cairns demonstrate the complexity of Neolithic architecture, with central burial chambers accessed through narrow passages from the outside. They were excavated and restored by Historic Environment Scotland in the late 20th century and are open to the public.

In 2017 I was able to crawl in every grave. The iron gates were open.

The Grey Cairns of Camster are two large Neolithic chambered cairns that are among the oldest structures in Scotland, dating to about 5,000 years ago. The cairns demonstrate complex neolithic architecture, with central burial chambers accessed through narrow passages. They were excavated and restored by Historic Environment Scotland in the late 20th century. The cairns were constructed in the third of fourth millennium BC in an empty, boggy and peat-covered moorland. Although the surrounding countryside is now inhospitable with little population, it was a fertile farming land in the Stone Age, only becoming covered in peat during the Bronze Age.

Two well preserved Neolithic chambered cairns. Excavations in 1865 found pottery, flint tools, bones and skeletons. It's now managed by Historic Scotland and open to the public (a short walk from the road). Bring a torch or bike light so that you can crawl in and explore the cairns properly.
