The ancient historical sites in
Caithness tend to be overshadowed by the more famous places in
Orkney, but many of them are just as interesting and important. One of them is found at the
Grey Cairns of Camster, a group of 5,000 year old
Neolithic Chambered Cairns.
These were used as burial places in the Stone Age, and consist of
skilfully constructed stone chambers with long, narrow entrance
passages. The surrounding area now is wet moorland and commercial
forestry, but in Neolithic times it was fertile farmland and must have
supported a large community. The cairns at Camster have been excavated
and restored, and are open to the public.
