Image of Sannox (Chambered Cairn) by Howburn Digger

The prominent “Rocking” Stone which stands close beside (and guides you to) the chambered cairn. Modern novel and Mac B for scale.
The white dot on the coast just to the left of the stone is Hunterston B Nuclear Power Station.

Sannox

One of the few chambered cairns in the mountainous N part of Arran.

The remains of a three-compartment chamber and a cist can be seen. Great views of both the surrounding hills and over the Firth of Clyde.

Access Head for the S end of Sannox village. Climb the rocky slope behind the seat and keep going to the top of the slope. Head for the gate in the deer fence. There was a stile here but it is broken. You can still squeeze through over the gate. There is a prominent stone on the rise in front of you – head slightly left of that towards the cairn.
