Cairn Geddes is a Bronze Age cairn located in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a mound of stones typical of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as communal or individual burial places across Scotland. Like many cairns of its period, it would have contained burials and possibly grave goods, though the specific contents and current condition of the site reflect centuries of subsequent disturbance and use of the landscape. The cairn remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices in the Perthshire region.
