Grave field with stone circle and cist grave in Tanum on the Swedish west coast. The grave is called "Valbret's grave". According to the myth, Valbret (Wallbrett) was a Scottish chieftain who was killed by the people in Tanum about 1,000 years ago. The grave, however, is from the Stone Age, and rather about 4,000 years old.
Watercolour by Olof Hermelin, from the later part of the 19th century.
