The downpour through the night gave way to a misty and damp start to the morning. This the south side.

Kyle’s Cairn

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Oct 4, 2017

Another early start on a dampish morning started at the Kyle’s Lodge Cairn just to the north west of Leverburgh. There is a tarred road heading south west from the A859 and I walked until the corner just before the roads end.

The cairn is situated just above the road on a small platform and has several kerbs still standing. It is about 6m wide and 0.6m tall with impressive views over to Ensay, whose standing stone can be seen in the distance.

A fine place to watch various wildlife and ships/boats in the bay. Soon, maybe to soon, I was in full flow heading towards Northton.

Visited 4/8/2017.
