After the Ranageig cairns I head towards the ruins of the Ranageig ferm toun which has a cottage rapidly joining the ruinous state. At this point, still heading west the track suddenly becomes a tarred road. Keep to the tarred road using the bridge to cross the Baden Burn.
From here the road is dead straight and uphill. The cairn is slightly to the north of the road near a lot of well built dry stane dykes.
Five huge kerbs indicate the cairn and provide a welcome seat for this visitor. Other kerbs are underneath the turf of this 8 meter wide and 0.8m tall site. The centre has been houked showing signs of previous visitors.
Benachally can't be seen, but the views south are stunning giving encouragement to head further.
