This, which I think is another probable cairn, overlooks the two cairns on a bluff a hundred yards north, to the east of the road. It would be a skyline feature discernable from the mainland.

The two cairns with East Tarbert Bay beyond, and beyond that the Sound of Gigha and the Kintyre mainland. A twenty minute ferry trip from Tayinloan to another world: Colonsay in miniature.

Drive north a short distance from Carragh an Tarbert stone and you will come to a sharp left bend in the road. If you can force yourself to look left towards the Paps of Jura you will see these in the foreground. As with so many of the sites on Gigha if you visit the island later than the start of May you will find them already covered with the annual vegetation.
