Fascinating review. Unknowingly passed by the cairn in 2019 on the train to London. Sadly, was sitting on the wrong side of the train. Thanks for this review. I hope to redress my train trip by visiting when I drive through Scotland, perhaps even this year (I live in Australia, so I'm not sure when I'm coming back).
Very nicely told, Great phots to go with you talk 👏👍
Very interesting, thank you.
