Cairn(s)

Once I again I went to visit the cairn, The Lair but this time as well as that site I went further north west to the site at Corra-lairig. This is fairly easy to get to, from the The Lair keep going until the track ends, the grack marked on the OS at this point appears to have long gone. Once there look north west and for the wee ferm toun, the cairn is to the east of the fence on a small mound.

Some impressive kerbs, seven of them, are on the southern side of the site which measures at 10m wide being just over 0.5 in height.

Even on a cloudy day the views up here are stunning!
