Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Cairn, Callander

The cairn sits on Cnoc Dubh (the "Black Rock"), north-east of Callander Crags. Vegetation is blaeberries, heather and scattered trees such as rowan and there are good views in all directions. The original cairn was built in 1897, Malcolm Ferguson was prominent in its construction. The cairn eventually collapsed but was re-erected, together with original inscribed, polished granite plaque, by the Callander Round Table in 1997. Note the white quartz top to the pyramidal cairn.
