Whoever chose to bury their dead here had a good eye for location. This could be the best-located chambered cairn in Scotland.
Sitting on the 110m contour above Loch Awe, the E end of the cairn faces the Cruachan Hills.
No surviving chamber at the E though but this area has been disturbed by later building and there are some orthostat-like stones lying around.
There is a good chamber at the W end with most of its feature still visible.
Great spot. Took far too many photos and left reluctantly.
Park just N of the hotel. Take the track opposite N first then follow the telegraph wires to the wall. Climb the wall and continue on that line up hill. Steep but short.
