Tomfat Plantation
Tomfat Plantation submitted by Spindrift : Burial cairn in Tomfat forest near Inverness (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Cairn in Highland. This site has suffered over the years but a large head stone still stands at the end of a long rectangular chamber. The site is on a small knoll at the end of a low "ridge" from the north.

Park at the entrance car park for the forest. Take track immediately on the right after going through the gate. Follow this for approx 200 m then turn right onto another smaller track ( it goes over the low remains of an old wall). This track winds its way through the forest and eventually takes you right to the site.
