You'll know you've reached the summit even if there is very low visibility as the summit cairn is huge - over 15 metres wide and over metre high! Rumour has it that the cairn was built by (and named after) a miller's wife who harboured Robert the Bruce when he was on the run in the early 1300's and the cairn was constructed in his memory.
