Cairn Table
Another trip to the summit by bike, the ride back down makes the climb worth it. This view is looking south from the trig point.

This is OS mapping. In some areas, OpenStreetMap shows more footpaths
Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.

Cairn Table
The giant cairn atop Cairn Table near Muirkirk.This is more a climb than a walk and from the top of the hill on a clear day, the Isle of Arran, Ben Lomond and the Galloway Hills can be seen.

S1562 - Cairn Table
NS724242, LR71. HISTORY Pillar completed in 1936, exact date and cost not on record. Computed as primary station PP311 within Figure 3 of the OSGB36 network during 1937. Levelled to second class precision in 1950. The last pre-GPS maintenance by the OS was in June 1978. This marker continues to be maintained by the OS as a GPS passive station. SITE VISIT Approached via the mapped track from Kaims. Pillar in good order and painted white, GPS plate affixed. Spider has plastic plug. FB faces WSW, compass measurement 256°. LHS sighting hole plugged, others open. Long views in all directions including Tinto. Difficult to decide whether this pillar is in East Ayrshire or South Lanarkshire, but the former seems more likely.

- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
