The interior has been bowled and it appears that several shelters have been made.

Cairn Fichlie

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Oct 20, 2009

Follow the directions to Cairn Ley then walk to the top of the hill. Fichlie is on the ridge of Glaschul Hill on the tree line. Once again superb views of the Don valley even on a misty/rainy day.

The cairn is 24 meters wide and some 21/2 meters in height. As can be seen in the images the centre has been hollowed, due to an excavation during 1880. It also looks like several shelters have also been made.

Lovely location, lovely site!
