As thelonious says, it’s pretty clear the people who erected this cairn – if not one and the same – at the very least shared ideas with the architects of nearby Creag An Amalaidh

The cairn exhibits a clear suggestion of former chamber. Unfortunately, my image does not.

Sea mist lingers.... note the excellent round house centre right.

05/08/2016 – Started from the train station at Rogart. It’s a nice walk down the lane and then uphill to the top of Creag a’Bhlair. Just a little past the top, the chambered cairn comes into view on the south side along with an opening of the landscape. Coming from this direction, looking down on to the cairn, the setting really reminded me of another cairn Creag An Amalaidh, just a few miles farther south. Craig A’ Bhlair chambered cairn is a good one. A large mound of stones with not much in the way of a chamber showing. The placement below Creag a’Bhlair with the ground stretching out to the south and a good view east to Loch Fleet is just lovely. Great area to spend a day, ambling about in the sun.
