Torlum Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located in Perthshire, Scotland, designated as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland (INSPIRE reference SM3147). The cairn represents funerary architecture typical of Scotland's Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, when such stone-built monuments served as communal or individual burial places. The structure consists of a mound of stones that would originally have been more substantial than its present-day remains, and such cairns often contained burial chambers or cists where human remains and grave goods were interred. As an upland monument within Perthshire's landscape, Torlum Cairn contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement and burial practices in central Scotland.
