Chambered Tomb in Isle of Skye
Remains of a chambered cairn at Garafad. The remains consist of 6 stones on a low grassy mound forming part of the chamber, and three likely kerbstones in the south and two in the west suggesting an original diameter of 15 feet.
The Cairn is approached by a footpath which now starts behind the car park at the new St Columba Leadership Centre in Staffin. The OS 1:50,000 map marks it wrongly on the right hand side of the footpath as you approach the sea; it is in fact on the left.
