Tiny's Cairn

Antonia Quirke travels to Glen Lonan to see the ancient coffin road that led west to Iona

It's a land of standing stones, burial cairns and circles in the fields - Glen Lonan beside Loch Nell. Lupi Moll and Ivan Nicholson, who've known the area all their lives, take Oban resident Antonia Quirke on a short trek through the glen to see if they can work out why there are so monuments here. It was once part of the road of the kings, an ancient coffin route. It also includes a more recent memorial, a stone eye that marks the resting place of Lupi's wife, who died twelve years ago.

The presenter is Antonia Quirke, and the producer in Bristol is Miles Warde
