In reply to Root1:
I used to live in Glencoe and my local summit was Bidean. I thought the lack of big unsightly summit cairn was wonderful for such a prominent mountain - its true pyramidal shape uncluttered by human intervention...
...until last year when from Stob Coire nan Lochan, I saw someone had built a large square monolith on the summit, and in the process altered the natural unspoilt lines of the peak.
What made someone stop for a couple of hours, manhandle huge blocks into place from the surrounding area and build a big square cairn? Did they think they were doing the mountain a favour?
I see now that the cairn is gone again and in its place lies a simple pile of stones - the true summit of Bidean nam Bian. Did someone feel the same way as me and do something about it?
