Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.

Edinburgh is regarded as the capital of Scotland today. However, according to my research, Kilmartin is the original Scottish capital, and we are talking many centuries ago.

"Kilmartin Valley is remote, even by Scottish standards, but may have been a forgotten centre of prehistoric activity. Archaeology is slowly uncovering that this tranquil valley may have been, in the past, one of the most important centres – and the true heart of Scotland." Phillip Coppens

"The Kilmartin Valley is an area of enormous archaeological significance. There are more than 350 ancient monuments within a six mile radius and 150 of those are prehistoric, including standing stones, cairns and chambered tombs, some of the relics dating back 5000 years." Phillip Coppens
