Nether Largie Cairn (North) One of a line of burial cairns in the Kilmartin Glen. It has a modern chamber in it which was accessible until the event of 2021 which simultaneously rendered most ancient monuments in Scotland unsafe, including in some cases their carparks.

The farmland was reclaimed from peat in the 19th century and several antiquities were uncovered at that time.

Hysterical Scotland strike again The modern chamber within the northern Nether Largie cairn has been sealed due to some freak event in 2021 which damaged just about every Historic Environment site, even car parks, had to be shut off with Heras fencing. It is not known what the disaster was but two years on many properties remain inaccessible.

Amazingly, the southern Nether Largie Cairn was untouched.
