Baile Na Creige

Cairn(s)

Fieldnotes

Baile Na Creige is a very small but impressively situated cairn next to the minor road (east side) heading north from the glorious Loch Duntelchaig. The views here are also superb, with the obligatory loch, this time Ashie. It is the furthest north of two cairns between the Midtown and Bunachton farms.

Hints of a kerb remain in a cairn that is over ten meters wide and 1 meter. A very short walk east from the road, the other cairn being a short distance away.

Close to home but has a different feel to Aberdeenshire around here I think. thelonious Posted by thelonious

I think you are most definitely correct! Same for all places I suppose.

I wonder how many visits sites like this get each year? Not many is my guess.

A little sad. It's what makes websites like TMA important I think.

I think you are right, somebody has to note these places and perhaps discover new ones.
