Glenvoidean submitted by saille on 21st Feb 2004. OS:NS999707, Isle of Bute, Kilmichael.
The cap stone is on the ground just like the Kilmichael Cairn although the cap stone has only been removed for the last 4 years.
Also looking at other pictures that i have of this Cairn iv noticed strange markings that look man made and could be Ogham, so i need to go back and have another look, if you look on the right stone at the top there is a crack which looks like a X it looks to perfect to be a crack but you never know
