It is located near Kilmory on the Isle of Arran in Scotland ({{gbmapping|NR95532108}}). DescriptionTorrylin Cairn is situated beside Kilmory Water just south of the hamlet of Lagg.[1] The cairn has been interfered with by stone robbing and later dumping of field stones and its original shape and size are uncertain.[2] The chamber is 6.7 metres long by about 1.2 metres wide with each compartment about 1.4 metres long.[2] Torrylin Cairn is of a type found across south-west Scotland known as a Clyde cairn, of which a better preserved example can be found at Carn Ban, about 3 miles to the northeast.[1] The tomb would probably have had a crescent-shaped forecourt, framed by a façade of slender upright stones.[1] Antiquarian excavations in the 19th century uncovered an elongated burial chamber, divided into four compartments.[1] Only the innermost compartment was intact. It contained the remains of six adults, a child and an infant.[1] Beside them lay a flint tool and a fragment of pottery.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Torrylin Cairn, Historic Scotland, accessed 2 May 2014 2. ^1 {{Canmore |num=39655 |desc=Arran, Torrylin |access-date=2 May 2014}} External links{{Commons category inline|Torrylin Cairn}}
