About Carn nam Fiacail

Rising to 520 metres in the Monadhliath Mountains west of the Findhorn valley, this remote heathery summit overlooks the forested lower slopes toward Strathdearn. The hill's modest classification as a Dodd reflects its relatively gentle terrain, though navigation across the featureless moorland plateau requires care in poor visibility.

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic meaning 'cairn of the teeth', likely referring to jagged rocks once visible on or near the summit, a common naming pattern for hills with distinctive rocky outcrops.
  • The hill forms part of the extensive Monadhliath range, a vast upland area whose Gaelic name means 'grey mountains', aptly describing the rounded, heather-clad character of these less-frequented hills east of the Great Glen.
