Dalineun submitted by hamish on 17th Feb 2004. On your way to Strontoiller you must visit this lovely Cairn at Dalnaneun Farm.The chamber and capstone are completely exposed and not much of the original covering is left.It is interesting to see the construction of one of these.Plenty of places to park,but access is over a barbed wire fence which is just at crotch height so be careful.

Dalinaneun Farm Cairn 2 submitted by caradoc68 on 15th Feb 2012.

Nether Largie South submitted by Fairycake on 26th Sep 2020. Looking towards the cairn from the south with the large cist in the foreground. This is by far the biggest cist I have seen.
