The cairn is in memory of Ralston Claud Muir, who died at the age of 32. He loved to climb in the glen (his ashes are here too) and he was a train driver on the west highland line. Ralston died on the 10th of January 2000 very suddenly after taking unwell on Christmas Day. He died from multiple organ failure caused by a rare form of Leukaemia, which he never knew he had.
