About Carn na Cloiche Moire

Rising to 592 metres in the Scottish Highlands north of Loch Ness, this Dodd offers a modest but worthwhile ascent through typical Highland terrain. The summit at NH370531 rewards those who make the climb with extensive views across the Great Glen and surrounding hills, though it sees far fewer visitors than its better-known neighbours.
