Scaut Hill

Cairn(s)

GLADMAN Jun 9, 2011

This hill, a 586m eastern outlier of Tinto, is also crowned by an ancient cairn, although – at c1.2m high and 13m diameter (according to Canmore) – it is much less substantial than Tinto’s extraordinary c6m high monument. But then since Tinto is quite possibly Scotland’s largest upland cairn, of course it would be, wouldn’t it?
