Eastern kerb, and some maps in the foreground. Shame I can’t read them well.

Findrassie Wood

Kerbed Cairn

drewbhoy Jul 15, 2011

Findrassie Kerb cairn is a wonderfully silent place. It is 12 meters wide and 0.5 meters tall. 6 large boulder kerbs can still be seen.

Leave Elgin heading north west on the B9012 Duffus road. Stopping at the first crossroads. Turn east and then walk straight north. Somehow I managed to walk right past the other cairn. But that gives me another excuse to go back. In reality I was lost again, thankfully Westerton farm track came to my rescue. No detours, which was just as well.
