A cairn is a man-made stack of stones. Since ancient times, cairns have been used as landmarks.

History

In the 9th century, a young Eivor Varinsdottir and her mother Rosta would stack cairns as a past-time and a way to clear the mind. Rosta would often recall to Eivor the times when she and her husband Varin would stack cairns as teenagers.

In Scotland, the witch-warrior Niamh of Argyll's mother was buried beneath a cairn.
