Taken at Torberg, near Ballatar in the North East of Scotland.
I've been trying to find out exactly what kind of Cairn this is and the story behind it.

Unlike other stone cairns I have seen, this one (and another in the vicinity) had a chamber inside.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I've seen a number of these on hillwalks and have just assumed that they were nothing more than somewhere to shelter out of the wind while having a break. ;)
