Clava Cairns
Any fan of the book or TV series Outlander will know that the Clava Cairns stood in for the fictitious stone circle of Craigh na Dun that protagonist Claire used to go back in time. These prehistoric burial cairns are located mere steps from Culloden Field, and on the small site, you can see the well-preserved cairns along with the remains of a small chapel. The site itself is small, and quite off the beaten path, so you probably won’t run into any other people — just the occasional flock of sheep.
