Memsie Burial Cairn Round Cairn View all content for Memsie Burial Cairn

Visited 26.7.14 Directions: From Fraserburgh take the A981 south. The cairn is on the B9032 (sign posted) Another Historic Scotland site ticked off the list. This cairn is a whopper – you can’t miss it! Access is via a kissing gate and an information board is provided. Memsie is a big old pile of stones and I am sure it gives the inhabitants of the nearby house something to talk about when looking out of their living room window! I didn't climb to the top as it felt uncomfoartable with the house so near. What is perhaps best about a visit to Memsie is that it gives a good idea of how many of the now ruined cairns we visit must have looked when in their prime.
