Cairnstones
"I will put a stone on your cairn."Cairn' is a Celtic word for a pillar of stacked stones to act as a marker. Widely-used as signs for travellers from which they could find both the way there and the way back. Cairns were also, and quite often, placed at burial sites, to mark someone's passing and pay respect to the departed. In folklore, the carrying of a stone from the bottom of a valley to the top of an existing cairn is a potent custom, as referenced by the Scottish blessing "I will put a stone on your cairn". Highland folklore also states that before battle, each clansman would place a stone on a cairn and, when the battle was done, would retrieve his offering - assuming he survived the fight. The stones that remained that were left as a monument to the dead. It is even said that the southern English region of Cornwall is named for its cairns, as many stone stacks litter its landscape.
