The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Cairnbulg Briggs are not noted as such on the current edition of the OS (GIS) MasterMap, but are presumably to be equated with the area of tidally-accessible rocks (centred at NK 036 661) that terminates (at the N end) as Cairnbulg Point.
