Balnagowan Hill

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Apr 15, 2011

In between the Balnagowan Wood cairn and Blue Cairn are at least 6 smaller cairns. Some are moss covered and some have trees growing out of them. All of them have been hollowed at some stage. But they have individual charm as well as being all different sizes. I’ve put the map reference with each pic from this site.
