Directions to Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais
There is room to park up c. 70 yards N of Ledbeg Bridge on the A837 at NC 24905 14194. Walk c. 100 yards S over the bridge. Head E into moorland for c. 25 yards to an obvious mound surmounted by several erect stones. This is the ruined Ledbeg River Cairn. The upright stones on the summit of the cairn are remnants of a burial chamber. There is a scattering of large stones to the S of the chamber. 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. My walking route is viewable on Ledbeg River Cairns. The route to Creag Mac A Ghille Chlais Cairn is a short strenuous yomp requiring wellies or walking boots.
