I have visited Sma' Glen cairn (otherwise known as Giant's Grave) on the way to Clach Ossian, which is c. 1 mile NW. It's possible to park in a lay-by at NN 90507 29468. The cairn lies 100 yards N surrounded by pine trees. It is covered by ferns and pine needles however some kerb stones can be seen. It is around 50 yards from the roadside.

Directions: From the A85 Crieff take the A822 Dunkeld turn in Gilmerton 1 mile before Crieff. Follow the A822 for around 4 miles until you reach the B8063 Logiealmond junction. Stay on the A822 for 1 mile and look out for a lay-by on the R at NN 90507 29468.
