Clava Cairns may have been the inspiration for Craigh na Dun, the stone circle in the TV/book series Outlander. While the stones they used in the series were fake, the inspiration had to come from somewhere, didn't it? Clava Cairns, outside of Inverness, includes burial cairns and standing stones.

Little me inside the cairn
Clava Cairns are about 4000 years old and were built to house the dead. What remains today would have been part of a larger complex. The word cairn means heap or mound of stones.
