About Carn an Leanaidh
Rising to 576 metres in the northwest Highlands, this Dodd sits in forested and occasionally rough terrain between Strathconon and Glen Orrin. The summit offers a modest viewpoint over the surrounding glens, though the approach requires commitment through mixed ground. A quiet hill that sees few visitors despite its accessible height.

Classifications
Did You Know?
- •The name derives from Gaelic 'Càrn an Leanaidh', possibly meaning 'cairn of the meadow' or 'cairn of the swampy place', reflecting the character of the lower slopes where wet ground transitions to the rockier upper sections.
- •At 576 metres, it falls just short of the 610-metre threshold required for Corbett status, placing it firmly in the category of hills walked more for their own sake than for list-ticking purposes.
