Scope and Content Cairn at Blar Buidhe, Iona, Argyll and Bute This cairn stands behind a bluff at Blar Buidhe. It now looks like a grass-covered mound, but was originally surrounded by a kerb of large boulders. Two of these are still in place, standing to 1 m in height. A further five are lying close by. This plan of the cairn shows the location of the two in situ boulders in black, and the five other boulders in white. A further boulder, in the SE part of the cairn, is not shown on earlier plans, and may be a recent addition. A plan of the cairn was also made by Sir Henry Dryden in 1875. This showed a trench running across the cairn, suggesting that it had been excavated at that time. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
