Not at all populated.... the nearest big town is Fort William quite some distance away.. raises the point as to whether these cairns are the work of travellers - arguably not the sort of thing your average tourist would do (?) - or people from a wider area making use of a spot with local folklore and tradition. Guess that's what I'm trying to establish? Does anyone know of any such folklore for the area?
