    Cuween Cairn

    May 2 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    A bit of a walk from the nearest bus stop, then a short steep climb up the hill, over a style, and a crawl through the entrance leads you into this small cairn. Definitely worth the effort, and we were surprised to read that dogs had been interred within the cairn too, as they were so important to the local people.

    The views from the cairn were stunning as well, and walking higher up the hill there was some more modern stones structures too which we believe are connected to a pilgrimage.
