Thanks.

It is an amazing place. To be 450m above the plains below looking down on and across the world is quite something. The peak is 621m above sea level. There are a few cairns higher up, but not any that are confirmed passage tombs (although all are believed to be).

Oddly loads of people walk up there, but few take any notice of the passage tomb, except for using it for sheltering from the wind. Being into megaliths and being into climbing 450m up a mountain seem to be mutually exclusive activities :-)

To see the clouds rushing past you at eye level is kinda special too. The first time I went up there I was either in the clouds or (for a short while) above them. It gives you an amazing feeling of being amongst the gods.

Know what you mean 4Ws... the first time I visited Glen Coe, the tops of the hills were shrouded in cloud with mist boiling down the corries. Kinda made me see why people believed that gods lived on mountain tops!

Have you ever experienced a cloud inversion on top of a hill? Its a bit like standing on an island with a sea of cloud around you, with just the mountain tops poking thru'. One of the most amazing things I've ever experienced.
