Carn Glas

Visited 01.12.13

It is ironic that so many antiquarians have driven past this stony cairn crossing the Ballachulish Bridge to and from Fort William, yet so few have stopped to visit it. The cairn is not particularly impressive but it has good southern views.

North Ballachulish Cairn is a stony mound on the N side of Ballachulish Bridge, c. 150 yards W of the A82 passing North Ballachulish. Take the unsigned dead-end right turn onto Old Ferry Road c. 100 yards after the N end of Ballachulish Bridge. Park up in a lay-by c. 110 yards down the road. Walk c. 110 yards back to the junction then walk 30 yards S towards the bridge. A tarmac path heads W into a field. Follow the path through a gate then head SSW across the field towards 2 mature trees on the edge of the cairn. My walking route is viewable on North Ballachulish Cairn.
