Cowiemuir 022 submitted by Andy B : You can just make out a large stone in the gorse to the middle left of this picture (Vote or comment on this photo)
Stone circle, also a round cairn. Very covered in gorse but there is a large stone in one of the bushes (you can just about see it in the middle right of the photo), and a circular raised area that looks like a round cairn.
