Resembling or containing cairns; having characteristics of a cairn (a pile of stones used as a marker or monument).
Derived from 'cairn' (from Scottish Gaelic 'càrn'), with the adjective suffix '-y' to describe something resembling or full of cairns.
Cairny landscapes across Scotland and Northern Europe often become archaeological puzzles—hikers adding stones to existing cairns can obliterate the original Bronze Age cairn beneath them!
