Lindsayhill Wood

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Sep 27, 2010

In a story told by Patrick Will, confirmed by RCAHMS, the woods next to Shethin have a horrible tale.

‘Three sisters were hunted down, why nobody knows. Sadly they were killed and the cairn at Lindsayhill Wood used as their burial place.‘

Sadly, for me, I’d ran out of time but I will go back and have a look to see if there are any remains of this cairn.
