Carn an Tuairneir East Top

Rising to 533 metres in the hills north of Glen Strathfarrar, this eastern summit forms part of a modest ridge system in the remote northwest Highlands. The terrain is typical of this rugged landscape: heather moorland, scattered rock, and expansive isolation. Its classification as a Tump reflects its prominence rather than absolute height.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Càrn an Tuairneir', meaning 'cairn of the turner' or 'cairn of the spinner', likely referring to a craftsman who worked with a lathe, or possibly to the swirling winds encountered on the ridge.
• •As an East Top, this summit sits within a small cluster of peaks that includes the main Carn an Tuairneir, with both summits sharing the same naming tradition but differentiated by their positions along the ridge.
• •The hill overlooks the vast forest plantations and glens that characterise this transitional zone between the more frequented mountains to the south and the emptier country stretching towards the north coast.
