The Clava cairn is a type of Bronze Age circular chamber tomb cairn, named after the group of three cairns at Balnuaran of Clava, to the east of Inverness in Scotland. There are about 50 cairns of this type in an area round about Inverness. Rory’s top tip.. while in the area be sure to also visit the standing stone at Milton of Clava, a short walk to the West.
