Hill Of Airlie

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy May 2, 2010

What is left of the cairn sits in the middle of the Barmkyn Fort, the only feature in the interior. Only a few scattered stones remain of the 8 meters wide site. A climbers cairn has been built on top. When the vegetation returns it will be very difficult to spot.
