Labothie Hill

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Dec 31, 2014

The Labothie cairn is a bit of a mystery. Instead of one massive cairn it appears to be two similar cairns. Both are around 8 meters in width and 1 meter high. Both have been dug into and both have at least a couple of kerbs.

After some serious looking at maps and on Canmore’s own site we concluded that Canmore has got it wrong.

Very easy to find from the Hatton Cairn. Spy a rather fine and intact black pill box and head straight for it.
