Carn nan Dubh Lochan

A remote Dodd on the southern fringe of the Great Glen, rising to 595 metres above a landscape scattered with dark lochans. The terrain is typical of the Central Highlands, with rough moorland and patches of bog. The summit offers views across Glen Tarff towards the Monadhliath massif, though the ascent demands solid navigation skills in poor visibility.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'cairn of the dark lochans', directly describing the cluster of peaty pools that lie on the hill's flanks and give the summit its distinctively sombre character.
• •The hill sits within a remarkably remote tract of the Central Highlands, with Fort Augustus approximately 10 kilometres to the northwest being the nearest settlement of any size.
• •Its classification as a Dodd places it among hills between 2000 and 2499 feet with at least 50 feet of prominence on all sides, a category specifically recognising mid-height Scottish summits.
