B5. Location Notes
This panel is displayed at the Neil Gunn Viewpoint, Heights of Brae. There is car parking and an interpretation board. It was moved there for safekeeping on 16 January 2014 from NH 5106 6071. It has previously been recorded as Clash Vaan ScRAP 1349 Canmore 351657 (at its old location), and HEIGHTS OF BRAE, NEIL GUNN VIEWPOINT ScRAP 2234 Canmore 350592 (at its new location). As there are three records of the same panel, two of the records have been reclassified as natural features.
