Allt Eoghainn
Allt Eoghainn submitted by PeteCrane5 : More commonly known as Lower Bog, this two compartment Orkney-Cromarty cairn has been 'extensively robbed' yet what remains in the mature beach woodland has beauty. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Tomb in Highland

This chambered cairn is recorded as Canmore Site ID 12736, "Lower Bog", which gives us an extract from a site visit by RCAHMS in 1979: "The remains of this Orkney-Cromarty cairn stand 450m WNW of Lowerbog farmhouse. The cairn, which measures about 16m in diameter, has been extensively robbed, but a two compartment chamber, entered from the E, can still be seen." The Canmore site record does not include any photographs, so many thanks to PeterCrane5 for his contribution.
