Melgund Cottage is a Post-Medieval cairn located approximately 100 metres west-north-west of an enclosure in Angus, Scotland. The cairn represents a funerary or commemorative monument of the early modern period, reflecting continued traditional practices of stone accumulation in the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands well beyond the medieval era. Its proximity to the associated enclosure suggests a relationship between the two features, possibly indicating a settlement or ceremonial landscape of Post-Medieval date. The monument is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland INSPIRE database under reference SM6471.
