Walking back from Cairn D to Cairn L I remembered that Cairn F has a beautifully decorated orthostat and so paused to see if my new flash eqipment could get me a good photo. I'm certainly very happy with the results.
Of all the carved stones on the hill this is amongst my favourites, because it looks a lot more primaeval than the other examples. The variety of designs is diverse and they have been protected by the single roofstone that remains on the passage. Sadly, the rest of the passage and chamber have not been so lucky and the monument is rapidly becoming lost below a sea of grass and moss.
