Ring Cairn

Culdoich Ring Cairn lies some 200 metres west of the clava cairn at Milton of Clava. Unfortunately, the access path ends at this point, and you have to improvise to progress further.

I elected to cross the fences/dykes at both sides of the next field: even so, Culdoich has such a low profile that it only became visible once I looked over the final dyke at the far edge of the field.

Sometimes referred to as a stone circle, Culdoich is more properly described as a ring cairn.
