(NR 2996 4221) Carn na h-Airde Duibhe (NAT)
OS 6" map (1900)
'Cairn of the Black Point', a cairn of stones situated in Loch Kinnabus.
Name Book 1878
Carn Na h-Airde Duibhe consists, after a spell of dry, warm weather of two tiny islets, joined by stepping stones. On the larger, western islet are almost certainly the remains of a cairn. The smaller, eastern islet is itself a small, circular cairn.
