Comment: Kilmartin glen is the former location of Dunadd, the main fort of the ancient Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riada, and is definitely a landscape worth exploring. This was my son being crowned as king of the Gaels there a few years back, by placing his foot in the footprint shaped hole in one of the rocks there...!
