Balnuaran of Clava, located in Inverness, Scotland, is a prehistoric site that is of significant archaeological importance. The site comprises a complex of three Bronze Age burial cairns with passageways leading to small burial chambers. The cairns were constructed around 4000 years ago, making them one of the most well-preserved examples of megalithic tomb-building in Scotland. The Clava Cairns are surrounded by standing stones that are believed to have been erected around 2000 BC. The purpose of these standing stones is unclear, but they are thought to have been part of a ceremonial or ritual landscape. Balnuaran of Clava is located near Culloden, the site of the famous battle between the Jacobites and the British in 1746. The site is open to the public and is of particular interest to those studying archaeology or the history of Scotland.
