Millcraig is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Ross-shire, Scotland, dating to the period roughly between 4000 and 3000 BCE. The monument consists of a stone-built burial chamber set within a cairn of stacked stones, typical of the megalithic funerary architecture constructed during the early farming communities of Neolithic Britain. Chambered cairns of this type served as communal burial monuments and represent significant evidence of social organisation and religious practice among prehistoric Scottish populations. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Record under the designation SM2406 and contributes to our understanding of Neolithic settlement patterns and ritual practices across the Scottish Highlands.
