Carn Doire Chaorach

A modest Dodd rising to 529 metres in the Scottish Highlands, positioned south of Glen Strathfarrar. The name translates from Gaelic as 'cairn of the rowan wood', though these trees are now scarce on the open hillside. The summit offers a quiet vantage point away from more frequented peaks in the surrounding glens.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'carn' (cairn or rocky hill), 'doire' (wood or grove), and 'caorach' (rowan tree or possibly sheep), suggesting the hill was once characterised by rowan woodland, though the upper slopes are now largely open moorland.
• •The hill sits within the wider Strathfarrar area, one of the least populated and most remote glens in the Scottish Highlands, where access is restricted by a locked gate controlling vehicle entry to protect the natural environment.
• •As a Dodd, it represents one of the lower tier of classified Scottish hills, named after the rounded, grassy summits typical of the category - though the classification system takes its name from the Cumbrian dialect word rather than Scottish Gaelic.
