Burial Cairns or Raises

Standing Cairns or Currocks.

Journey Cairns. Trail, summit and social.

 

A cairn is a human made pile of stones.

They are way markers of human existence.

They predate History.

Each visit to a cairn it is never the same.

Human interaction, the weather and landscape combine
to make sure that every interaction you have is unique.

Each photograph is a moment in time of each Cairn on that day.

 

When we journey to a Cairn we connect to a single continuous point in our Human story.
Adding our story to its story of 4,000 years in one place in the landscape.
