Balmoral Cairns Craig Gowan


On the track to Prince Albert's Cairn
Always an interesting circular walk around  some of the Victorian cairns on Craig Gowan.
We actually found Princess Helena's Cairn this time after a wee bit of searching.
The weather was windy but mostly dry.
We stopped for lunch at the Pricess Helena Cairn then on to Prince Arthur's Cairn,
The Purchase Cairn & Prince Leopold's.
Of course Prince Albert's is the largest and most geometrically correct.
Seven Cairns were visited this time plus the lonely statue of John Brown.
