"Amazing sites, in a stunning location, along with the Simison family's obvious passion for their heritage, made our visit to the 'Tomb of the Eagles' our most memorable in Scotland." Diane and Scott Robertson, Chicago USA
In 1958, farmer Ronnie Simison's life went from the ordinary to the extraordinary, when he came face to face with his 5000 year old ancestors. Nearly 50 years on, Ronnie and his family invite people from around the world to visit them at the 'Tomb of the Eagles', where they offer the unique experience of a 'hands-on' guided tour at the visitor centre, which still retains many of the original artefacts dating to c3000 BC. Visitors can contemplate Stone Age life, and death while visiting the site. |
 Bridging the gap between stoneage and present day, a visit to the 'Tomb of the Eagles' also encompases life c500BC at their unique Bronze Age Site.
