Like the example upon nearby Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach, this cairn at the summit of Sron a’ Bhealain (cNG 504 284) looked perhaps a little too ‘bonded to the earth’ to be a mere modern walker’s cairn. But a wondrous spot to intern a burial between the overpoweringly steep cone of Glamaig and the brutal mass of Sgurr nan Gillean and The Black Cuillin (as seen here)? Perhaps.
