Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais

Visited 07.10.26

Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais Cairn is located on the N slope of Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais beside the Ledbeg River. It is c. 400 yards E of Ledbeg River Cairn in rough boggy moorland on an elevated spur. I walked E parallel to the river to reach this almost invisible cairn at NC 25279 14166. The low mound is a heathery island in brown moorland measuring c. 10 feet in diameter and 1 foot high. trove.scot 4525 noted that it was ” bounded by contiguous slabs set lengthways” but there was no stone kerbing visible on my visit. The route to Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais Cairn is a short strenuous yomp requiring wellies or walking boots.
