Archaeology & Ancient Sites

Culbokie has been visited or occupied by man for several thousand years so was obviously thought to be a good place to live.

The map below reproduced from the Highland HER web site gives a clear indication of the range of archeological sites around Culbokie.

• The archaeology of the area
• Càrn Mòr Dùn AKA Culbokie Castle
• Findon Dun - the Canmore record erroneously refers to this as "Findon Cottage" as the correct location is Findon Mill.
• Dunvournie Henge (Teanagairn)
• Findon Cist & Urn
• Crochar - the Highland Historic Environment Record for "Crochar" does not refer to 'our' Crochar.
• Ferintosh Distillery
• The Fisher Folk of Findon
• Kinbeachie Castle & Farm (see note below map)
• Castle Craig
• Metal detecting

Two archaelogical sites not identified below are the Drummondreach Dun at map reference NH582575 (whilst there have a look at the Preaching Site) and the Chambered Cairn at the Old Ferintosh Distillery site at map reference NH577568
