Carn a' Coire Dhoimhneid East Top

Perched in the remote Kintail hills of northwest Scotland, this eastern outlier sits at 582 metres above Glen Affric. The Gaelic name translates as 'cairn of the deep corrie', describing the hollow carved into its northern flanks. A quiet summit rarely visited in isolation, offering solitude among rougher, pathless terrain.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic: 'carn' meaning cairn or rocky peak, 'coire' meaning corrie or mountain hollow, and 'doimhneid' meaning deep or profound, referring to the substantial glacial corrie on its northern aspect.
• •The 'East Top' designation indicates this summit is a subsidiary peak of a higher parent hill to the west, though it qualifies as a separate summit in its own right under the Dodd and Tump classifications.
• •At 581.8632 metres, the height measurement suggests a modern GPS survey rather than traditional triangulation, reflecting the increased precision now applied even to lesser-known Scottish hills.
