Carn Loch Bhuic Mhoir

A remote Corbett-height summit in the rough country north of Loch Hourn in Knoydart, West Highlands. The Gaelic name translates as 'cairn of the loch of the big roaring', likely referring to red deer stags. Approaches are long from any direction, with trackless terrain and considerable bog testing navigation skills across this wild peninsula.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, combining 'carn' (cairn or rocky hill), 'loch' (lake), and 'bhuic mhoir' (of the big roaring or bellowing), most likely referring to the rutting calls of red deer stags that frequent these remote corries.
• •Despite its substantial height of 586 metres, the hill falls just short of Corbett status by around 28 metres, leaving it classified only as a Dodd and Tump.
• •The hill sits in the heart of Knoydart, one of mainland Scotland's last great wildernesses, accessible only by boat or a long walk in from Kinloch Hourn or Glen Dessarry.
• •The surrounding lochan-scattered terrain makes for challenging navigation in mist, with few obvious landmarks and extensive peat hags between the scattered rocky outcrops.
