About Carn Dearg Mor South Top

A lesser-known subsidiary summit in the southern Highlands, positioned near the main Carn Dearg Mor ridge. At 591 metres, this grassy top qualifies as a Dodd and Tump, typically visited by those exploring the broader hill group rather than as a standalone objective. The terrain is characteristically rolling moorland with modest ascent from surrounding cols.

Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Gaelic 'Càrn Dearg Mòr', meaning 'big red cairn', with 'South Top' added to distinguish this subsidiary summit from the main peak lying slightly to the north.
  • As a Dodd, this hill meets the classification threshold of 500 metres with at least 15 metres of prominence, while its Tump status confirms a prominence of 30 metres or more – modest but sufficient to warrant its own identity on the ridge.
