The skeleton of Captain Maryon was found on this spot in 1948, around two years after he set out for a walk from Sligachan. In tribute to the memory of his wartime friend, Myles Morrison built this impressive, 9-foot (2.7 m) cairn from the surrounding gabbro rock. The spot, on the flanks of Sgùrr Hain, enjoys magnificent views down towards Loch a' Choire Riabaich and up to the northern Cuillin, where Sgùrr nan Gillean's pointed form looks particularly impressive.
