Middleton Muir 5

One week later and I’m back at Middleton House asking permission to park which was kindly given.

This time I was going to to try and find the two cairns I’d given up on the week before.

This time, heading north from Middleton, I followed the Cateran Trail for a short distance, uphill, until a crossroads, head west (you’ll pass a small quarry) then take the second track heading north west overlooking Loch Glasclune. Once over the Glasclune Burn keep heading north west, again more valleys and dried marshes to negotiate. However like the previous week it was surprisingly dry, 5 miles north had seen torrential rain the night before.

The cairn has a decent kerb surrounding it being 10m wide and in parts 1m high. A lot of houking has happened on the north side but it still looks in fairly condition despite that. This must have been popular place during during prehistoric times, the whole area must have been, there are hut circles everywhere.

Time to go west.
