"Cairnhill" are street signs made to United Kingdom and French specifications, they're situated at the entrance to Cairnhill garden.
A cairn is a manmade pile of stones used as a memorial or as a landmark, it is the same word in French. The word comes from Scottish Gaelic carn; akin to Old Irish & Welsh carne.
