Carriside

Chambered Cairn

thelonious Aug 7, 2016

01/08/2016 – Grassed over chambered cairn. Started from the road to the west (ND 0511 5844, good parking) near Monadh nan Carn. Just follow rides through the trees. Probably just as easy to walk the shoreline of Loch Calder round to the cairn from either north or south. There is a gate just east of the cairn to gain access to the forest from the loch side.
