Laggan Hill is an old friend and its always wonderful to look south over Nethy Bridge and the Boat of Garten to the Cairngorms. I don’t know why I haven’t visited this cairn before but it provided a fitting end to a lovely day traipsing about to the north of Grantown on Spey.
I parked were the A938 meets the A95 and walked up to the gates of Easter Laggan. Keep following the track towards the masts on the top of the hill. This is a lovely walk, the last time I’d visited (from this side) I’d walked a huge amount of miles but today it had been far more easier.
Keep going until the trees end on the east side then head east over the fence and into the heather.
The cairn also has glorious views along the Spey Valley. It sits at 7m wide and reaches almost 1m in height. Sitting near a large outcrop there are at least seventeen graded kerbs. The smallest stones on the high point with large stones on the lowest point. It also appears that the turf covered cairn hasn’t been houked.
Good news to end a superb day.

Every time I drive by, I see you sitting in the cist up there!
I would have given you phone as well, but I'd left the damned phone in the car!
