Beorgs
of Housetter (Giant's
Grave) CHAMBERED
CAIRN (STANDING STONES)
These
two standing stones are the terminal orthostats of an almost totally ruined
chambered cairn. They are 2m and 2.7m high respectively and their red granite
creates a striking colour difference with the white boulders of the cairn.
The site lies in a spectacular position, on a strip of land between Loch
of Housetter to the east and the precipitous hillside of Beorgs of Housetter
to the west.
Some 90m to the north there is a ruined round cairn of pink granite boulders
locally known as Trowie Knowe (Fairy Mound). And on the steep slope of Beorgs
of Housetter there is another small chambered cairn.
