Unstan Cairn Description
Unstan Cairn is situated on a peninsula on the south side of Loch Stenness. It is a burial chamber about 23ft/7m in total length although it is divided into smaller sections. When the grave was excavated in 1884, archaeologists unearthed the largest piece of Stone Age pottery ever found in Scotland. It is now on display in the National Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh.
