This photograph shows the summit area of Meikle Caldon Hill. Visible in the foreground is a large mound, with a flattened centre. The OS map notes this ancient cairn, now overgrown with turf, as an antiquity (see the end-note of this item for more information). However, note also my comment, in the end-note, about a flagstaff. In the distant background, Loch Lomond is on the left. Ben Lomond (Image) is the highest skyline peak, a little right of centre. Meikle Caldon Hill appears as "Kaldon Hill" on the Pont/Blaeu map of the Lennox (that map was based on surveys carried out in the 1580s-90s).
