An ancient Cairn or Tumulus on the farm of Whitecairn, it is of a circular shape, about 130 feet in diameter. There is a tradition in the neighbourhood that the first Knight of Lochinvar killed a wild boar on or near this spot & that this Cairn was erected to Commemorate the exploit. Another story is told which says that the wild boar was killed at a short distance from the "White Cairn" & that a smaller Cairn marked the spot: particular enquiry has been made respecting the latter Cairn but no account of it can be got nor does any trace of it remain on the ground |

26 White Cairn
[Note] "Not much above a mile from this loch (Lochinvar)
there is a large pile of stones covered with a whitish moss
from which it has probably got the name of the "White Cairn"
At a short distance from this is another of smaller size which is
supposed to be a monument or trophy of an heroic achievement
performed by the first Knight of Lochinvar who on that very spot
had the good fortune to kill a Wild boar which infested
that part of the Country.
