Meckan's Grave
Meckan's Grave (also Mechans Grave ) is a stone box in the mudflats at the north end of Loch Riddon near the UK road A8003, south of Ormidale near Dunoon in Argyll and Bute in Scotland .
According to an entry in the name book from 1870, Meckan was the son of King Magnus of Norway (1024-1047), who was killed in the Battle of Crudail. A few years ago the tomb was opened by the owner, but nothing was found. A plaque marks the point on a nearby rock on the mainland.
According to Canmore, the stone box is on the mudflats north of the rock.
