NN8236 : Cairn on Meall nam Fuaran ('rounded hill of the springs')

taken 7 years ago, 3 km from Auchnafree, Perth And Kinross, Scotland

Cairn on Meall nam Fuaran ('rounded hill of the springs')
Cairn on Meall nam Fuaran ('rounded hill of the springs')
The summit plateau here is a maze of grassy islands amongst peat bogs - this small cairn seems to mark the summit.

The hill itself is something of a rounded lump, but has a population of mountain hares and red deer and views to the higher and more shapely peaks of Ben Lawers, Schiehallion and the Glen Lyon hills.
