Carn nan Eagan

A forested Dodd rising to 532 metres in the hills northwest of the Cairngorms. The summit sits amid commercial plantation, with walking typically approached through forestry tracks rather than open moorland. Despite its modest height, the prominence qualifies it as a Tump in the Scottish hill classification system.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Càrn nan Eagan', meaning 'cairn of the notches' or 'cairn of the nicks', likely referring to indentations or gaps in the rocky terrain at or near the summit.
• •The hill lies within extensive Forestry Commission plantations that have significantly altered the landscape character since the mid-20th century, transforming what would once have been open heather moorland into dense coniferous woodland.
