Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach (approx NG514 273) – the cairn is not held to be of ancient origin... (although my ancient 1:25 OS map depicts the site in ‘antiquarian’ typeface... for what it’s worth)... but tellingly does not stand at the summit of the peak (a pathetic heap of stones marking that can just be seen far top left). What’s more, I discerned an earthfast footprint. Intriguing. Bla Bheinn is the mountain peeking from cloud beyond.
