Cadha nan Ingrean
Cadha nan Ingrean submitted by hamilton : This is a composite panoramic image over the dun at Cadha nan Ingrean, looking northeast over Loch Slapin. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cadha nan Ingrean is a ruined dun, located some 300 metres beyond the end of the tarmacked road that leads past Kilmarie graveyard to the shore of Loch Slapin. A good track leads on, and ends beside a wooden house.

A short walk, through bracken, heading slightly east of south from this point should bring you to the dun after some 90 metres. The dun may require a search on account of the dense bracken, but shoujld reveal itself as a tumbled heap of stones up to 3 metres high.
