Carn Beag

A modest summit in the Wester Ross hills, positioned inland from the north-west Highland coast. The 550-metre peak sits at grid reference NH108555, making it a qualifying Dodd and Tump. Its remoteness and lack of nearby settlements contribute to a quiet, unfrequented character typical of this sparsely populated corner of the Highlands.

• •The name Carn Beag derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'small cairn' or 'small rocky hill', distinguishing it from a larger namesake or more prominent neighbouring summit in the area.
• •Its classification as both a Dodd and a Tump reflects its modest 30-metre prominence, placing it among Scotland's smaller catalogued hills rather than the major peaks.
• •The grid reference NH108555 positions it in wild, remote country west of the Great Glen, an area characterised by scattered lochans, peat hags, and long approaches from any roadhead.
