Beinn Mhor
Beinn Mhor submitted by PeteCrane5 : 'The cairn is now little more than an amorphous heap of stones with no trace remaining of a kerb. In the centre, the remains of the cist are exposed.' (Oram 1996s) Exposed but full of vegetation. Yet well worth a visit as it is a 'tomb with a view; of both the Cairngorms and characteristic Ben Rinnes to north east. (Vote or comment on this photo)
