Visited 27.10.24

There is a ruined cairn c. 1.5 miles S of New Luce on the W bank of the Water of Luce in Dumfries and Galloway. It is named after Low Airyolland farm which is located c. 400 yards SW of the cairn. Low Airyolland cairn is on a grassy mound sloping from N to S. It is defined by an earth bank up to c. 3 feet high with a c. 60 feet diameter. The cairn is dominated by a tall mature oak tree in the NW quadrant. There are shrubs and ferns on the E, S and W arcs. A large moss covered stone on the S perimeter and 3 large stones on the W perimeter may be displaced kerb stones. The centre of the circle is grassy and irregular with scattered embedded stones.

There is further information on Low Airyolland Cairn in Canmore ID 304998.

Directions to Low Airyolland Cairn: Take the W turn to Glenluce off the A75. Turn left for New Luce after 0.2 mile. Stay on this road for c. 3.5 miles to reach a lay-by at a quarry on the right. (Parking is difficult from this point onwards so I chose to park safely and extend the walk.) Walk c. 0.25 mile N along the road to reach a gate into the Southern Upland Way path (SUW). Follow the path down to the footbridge over the Water of Luce. Turn right along the SUW for c. 130 yards to reach a grassy mound dominated by a large mature tree on the edge of the field. Low Airyolland Cairn is best viewed from the N. My walking route is viewable on Low Airyolland Cairn.
