Both Hill 2

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy May 1, 2010

Scotlands Places say this cairn is badly ruined and it is but it has enough to remind us of former glories. Much the same views as its wonderful neighbour. Head west from Both Hill 1 and follow the old dry stane dyke which leads straight to and over the cairn.

The site sits at over 11 metres wide and is 1 metre at its highest. However stones do poke over the heather making it relatively easy to spot.
