There are two cairns in this area. Cairn 1 is noted as a probable modern marker cairn, while Cairn 2 is a mostly ruined Bronze age cairn about 25 feet round and 3 feet high. Panoramic views all around. Wonderful setting.

    My first guess is that you have a photo file with a name that has been sent before. Try renaming the files and try again

    Spot on Captain. All ok now. Thanks. They are not new but I don't think I have ever submitted those images before. Is this a bit of a new layout bug perhaps?
