Carn Geuradainn

Rising to 594 metres in the remote northwest Highlands, this Dodd and Tump sits in rugged terrain north of Loch Carron. The Gaelic name combines 'càrn' (cairn or rocky hill) with 'geuradainn', though the precise meaning of the second element remains unclear. Its modest classification belies a genuine sense of isolation in this sparsely visited corner of Wester Ross.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'càrn' meaning a cairn or heap of stones, paired with 'geuradainn' which may relate to 'geur' (sharp or keen), possibly describing a sharp-featured or pointed summit pile.
• •At 594 metres, this hill falls just short of the 610-metre threshold for Corbett status, placing it among Scotland's mid-height peaks that often see fewer visitors than their more celebrated neighbours.
