Blendewing Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders, situated approximately 550 metres south-east of Blendewing settlement. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture typical of that period in southern Scotland, when such stone-built mounds served as repositories for the dead. Like many cairns of this era, it would originally have been more substantial than its present form, though it retains sufficient physical presence to be identifiable as a distinct archaeological feature in the upland landscape of the region.
