I found this monument generated – for want of a better phrase – an ethereal sense of continuity within me... a suggestion that the past isn’t ‘separate’, what has gone before existing alongside the present, interacting with now.

13/05/2015 – The area round here is full of cairns, brochs, settlements etc. It was hard to pick which way to go. This chambered cairn was my favourite of the ones we visited on our walk. Canmore describe it as ‘Orkney-Cromarty, long, horned, with Camster-type chamber’. Well worth a visit combined with a few of the other sites nearby. Easy access from Dunbeath.
