Cairn [NAT]

872m [on boundary of Logie-Coldstone and Glenmuick, Tullich and Glengairn parishes]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1971.

A circular cairn, measuring about 17m in diameter and up to 1.7m in height, is situated upon the summit of Morvern. It is made-up of large stones, which contrast markedly with the spread of small stones and pebbles that otherwise litter the summit; the cairn is surmounted by the modern marker cairn that is depicted on the modern 1:10,000 map (1971).

Visited by RCAHMS (SPH), 13 May 1998.
