Carn Muldonich

Standing at 581 metres in the Moray uplands, this remote Dodd occupies quiet country northeast of the Cairngorms massif. The grid reference places it in terrain characteristic of the area's rolling heather moorland and forestry blocks, terrain more often crossed than deliberately climbed. A hill for those drawn to completism rather than celebrity.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Càrn Mhùil Dhònaich', likely meaning 'cairn of the brown rounded hill', reflecting both the summit's probable stone pile and the character of the surrounding moorland.
• •As a Dodd, this summit sits just below the 600-metre threshold that defines the more widely pursued hill lists, occupying that middle ground where serious height meets relative obscurity.
