Old photograph of the Giant's Graves, the remains of two Neolithic chambered tombs, on a ridge 120 metres above the sea in a clearing in a forest, overlooking Whiting Bay village on the Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. The tombs have been much robbed, but the edges are still well defined. Excavations in 1902 only revealed soil and stones, however in 1961 further exploration produced nine sherds of a round based vessel, and fragments of burnt bone. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
