Yesterday I went on a field trip for my Archeology class. We went to Kilmartin Glen which has a lot of really old rocks and tombs and carvings and stuff. It was really cool.
On one of the fields there was an old tomb covered by a large pile of rocks. Archeologists created an entrance and an exit which we got to walk through. Of course I didn't see any skeletons or anything, but they might have still been in there, in other parts of the tomb, I have no idea.
Then we walked over to this big rock circles and one of them had a little grave thing in it too. It of course didn't have a body in there, but you could totally see where it would have been. 
Then we went over to this old fort and walked up to the top of the hill where the King would've lived. There was another level about halfway up the hill that the workers and people would've lived. There were etchings and stuff on some rocks and a footprint next to it. What we were able to see what a cast of the originals because they were trying to preserve them. 
Apart from the 2 and a half hour drive each way, it was a lot of fun and we had great weather (which is clear from the pictures). There is another field trip in November, so fingers crossed for another good day!
