Ancient Treasures of Kilmartin Glen
Situated about 25 miles south of Oban in Argyll, surrounding the village of Kilmartin, the historic site of Kilmartin Glen contains one of Scotland’s most significant concentrations of Neolithic and Bronze remains. It is believed that this area was occupied as far back as the Mesolithic Age (6,000 to 4,000 BC). With more than 350 ancient monuments in the area, there is certainly plenty of evidence of human occupation through the ages and discovering the archaeological treasures of Kilmartin Glen can be a fascinating experience.
The Unique Attraction of Fossil Grove
It is hard to imagine what the earth looked like three hundred and thirty million years ago. Illustrations and artist impressions give us an idea of the landscape and vegetation, but the Fossil Grove in Glasgow, Scotland, gives visitors the rare opportunity to journey back into ancient times and see the fossilized remains of part of a forest that once thrived in Scotland. This magnificent find was discovered in 1887, while workmen were working in an old quarry to landscape a park.

Not only do they aim to entertain their young audiences, but to inspire, educate and hopefully encourage them to develop their own talents. Together with the support of the Bank of Scotland, the Imaginate Festival will again open a world of performing arts to the youth of Scotland.
