Happened to come across a rather remarkable cairn field above Glen Garry (or thereabouts) during the recent Scotland trip... quite a moving site (see image), numerous small cairns bearing messages to loved ones - presumably deceased - the context clearly paying homage to the fantastic view. There's also similar activities going on beside the Cairn O'Mount cairn in Aberdeenshire; I seen a bit in Ireland, too.
Great shot Gladman and very moving as you say especially once amongst it I would imagine. Is the area very populated at present as much of it would be from the distant past I suppose and mainly revisited by both the continuation of ancient beliefs as you say, and possibly in homage to our great ancestors and also more recent departures close to a bereft persons heart. Any thoughts? Is this a genuine continuation of ancient beliefs, or just an admission that monotheistic religion has failed certain groups of people?
