Carn Chrom

Rising to 503 metres in the Moray uplands, this modest summit sits amid rolling heather moorland northeast of the Cairngorms. The hill offers a quiet alternative to busier peaks, with extensive views across Strathspey and the Ladder Hills. Its twin Dodd and Tump classifications reflect its modest prominence but genuine character.

• •The name Carn Chrom derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'crooked cairn' or 'bent cairn', likely referring to the shape of the summit feature or the hill's profile when viewed from certain angles.
• •The hill sits within an area of extensive grouse moor management, with access sometimes restricted during the shooting season from August through October.
• •Though relatively low by Scottish standards, the summit provides sweeping views northward across the Moray Firth on clear days, with Ben Rinnes visible to the northwest.
