Details A circular cairn, measuring about 17m in diameter and up to 1.7m in height, is situated upon the summit of Morvern on the boundary between Logie-Coldstone and Glenmuick, Tullich and Glengairn parishes. It is made-up of large stones, which contrast with the spread of small stones and pebbles that otherwise litter the summit. The cairn is surmounted by the modern marker cairn that is depicted on the modern 1:10,000 map.
