soulsurfer visited on 13th Aug 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Two nice cairns, both with something of interest to the visitor and in a nice spot... although the loch would not have been there when they were built of course!
Two chambered cairns lie at the edge of Loch Calder. The level of the loch has been raised in recent years so the waters now lap the cairns. Unfortunately the intervening fields were full of cattle so the photo is taken from the roadside. A further cairn, Tulach Na T-Sionnaich, is close by.
THe two cairns beside Loch Calder are at ND06826188 and at ND06766186 - both are in the area covered by this photo!
