Cairn, Gourlaw.
Not the slightest trace of this cairn survives. It lay on the northern edge of the field immediately to the south of the dwelling-house at Gourlaw, at an elevation of some 600 feet above sea-level. The highest point of the law, 629 feet, lies some 200 yards to the north-east. The remains of this cairn were removed in 1905 when two cinerary urns and three other deposits of incinerated bones were found. Amongst the burnt bones covered by the large urn was a perforated bone ornament. See Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xxxix (1904-5), p. 411.
