Robert Johnson Cairn

Great report from Bob Langley on Nationwide in 1970 about a cairn memorial to the Delta Blues maestro, ROBERT JOHNSON.
Built by 19-year-old Bruce Gardner in the Scottish Borders.

But where is it, and is it still there?

I found a "Drumelzier" on Google Maps and compared the satellite view with the black and white video view. Result!

But I can't zoom in close enough to see if the cairn is still there.

Bruce would have been born in 1951 so he would be 67 now - is he still alive and does he still live in Drumelzier?

Here's the video:
