The Carnassie Gate

starting at €90.00

Completed in 1560, Carnasserie Castle is known in the Scottish Highlands as the residence of the first Protestant bishop of Kilmartin Glen and his staff. It was probably built as an extension to an even older building. Numerous signs of earlier habitation have been found in the area: burial mounds, rock carvings, Stone Age standing stones, and stone circles. One has to be quite narrow to slip through this gate at Carnasserie.

HUMAN TIME – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are probably stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made from leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments to the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells us about the people who lived thousands of years before us, their adversities, and their hopes. They are not just ruins, but fragments of a shared story.
