Some cairns have been robbed of the stone they re made of, especially any that are near very old roads.


I was here yesterday. The damage done to the eastern side is enough to make you weep and the lack of respect for the person who's cremated remains were discovered a sad refection of man's indifference toward our great ancestors. The building material strewn all around was just tossed there without a care in the world. I took my own photos of course and the westen part of the cairn that is intact is something to see and when I learn how to attach them to Forum posts I'll send some in. A few days up there with half a dozen willing workers would 'soon' get it back into shape but of course to the wreckers of our heritage that would be the last thing they would consider doing the bastards!
