Age of Bronze
With the start of the Bronze Age came the appearance of wide-spread trade, metal working and the arrival of settlers from the continent, which brought great change to Scotland’s archaeological landscape during the Bronze Age. New burial practices and architectural styles, including hut circles, henges and field systems, were adopted across the country.
Na Clachan Aoraidh four poster stone circle - Loch Tummel, Perth and Kinross
The stone circle of Na Clachan Aoraidh – the ‘Stones of Worship’ – is set high on the limestone ridge of Cnoc na Craoibhe above Loch Tummel. The site is an unusual ‘four poster’ stone circle – a square arrangement of four large stones on a low stone-built circular platform. It is an early Bronze Age site and was probably built about 4000 years ago.
