Marker cairn on Carman Hill
The cairn was built within the last decade. It is not at the hill's highest point, but it is not far from it.
The top of NS3779 : Millburn Muir transmitter projects above the mist. The wooded hill directly behind the cairn is Pappert Hill, and the one to its left is Auchincarroch Hill. Behind Pappert Hill, from centre to right, are the Campsies; the more distant Fintry Hills are left of centre.
The first-quarter moon is at the upper right of the picture.
