Carn na Glaic Fhluich

Rising to 550 metres in the Monadhliath Mountains, this remote Dodd sits amid vast heather moorland west of the Findhorn valley. The Gaelic name translates as 'cairn of the wet hollow', a reference to the boggy terrain characterising much of this broad, exposed plateau. A hill for those comfortable with pathless navigation across open ground.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'càrn na glaic fliuch', meaning 'cairn of the wet hollow' – a straightforward descriptive reference to the waterlogged ground and shallow depressions typical of this part of the Monadhliath plateau.
• •This hill forms part of the Monadhliath range, whose name itself means 'grey mountains' in Gaelic, an apt description of the vast, rolling, heather-clad moorland that stretches for miles with few distinct peaks or landmarks.
