One cannot be absolutely sure if this is the cairn as the OS map doesn't give a detailed site, but as it is the only pile of stones on a green protuberance on an otherwise rather squelchy moor, then one would suggest that this is it.

View towards Loch nan Garbh Chlachan

Peat and heather moorland stretch away towards the shores of Loch nan Garbh Chlachan where a line of stepping stones are visible, beyond which in an adjoining square is Dun Ban on an islet. Magnifying the image brings up what looks like some remains of walls at the dun. In the distance is the familiar outline of Eabhal.

Grimsay: approaching the A865

The road circuiting the island comes out onto the A865 at its northern end, as the sunlight after daylong heavy rain reflects brightly off the tarmac.
