Did You Know?
- •The name 'Carn Sonraichte' derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'carn' meaning a cairn or rocky hill, and 'sonraichte' translating to 'particular' or 'special' – suggesting this summit may have held distinctive significance in the local landscape, perhaps as a boundary marker or navigation point.
- •At 514 metres, the hill falls just 68 metres short of Corbett status, which requires Scottish peaks between 2,500 and 3,000 feet with sufficient separation from higher neighbours.
