Ballinluig Cairn submitted by PeteCrane5 : The bigger, well preserved, outer kerb stones of Ballinluig. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Cairn in Highlands

Atmospheric remains of a large ring cairn located on a small hill on the north side of Loch Alvie. Now on the edge of a small plantation it may once have had great views of the loch and the Cairngorms beyond.

The proposed dualling of the A9 will bring the road closer but the cairn will be kept.
