About Diollaid Coire Eindart

Deep in the Cairngorm wilderness, this high shoulder of Beinn Bhrotain is less a peak and more a strategic excuse for extra bog-trotting. It is perfect for hikers who find Munro-bagging too efficient and prefer their summits served with a side of utter isolation.

Key Statistics

Find It

Did You Know?

• •Its name translates from Gaelic as the 'Saddle of the Corrie of the Hind', suggesting the local deer have significantly better taste in real estate than the average hillwalker.
• •Situated on the remote high plateau between Glen Feshie and the Geldie Burn, it stands at 974 metres, making it a substantial Munro Top rather than a primary peak.
• •The surrounding land is part of the Mar Lodge Estate, where massive efforts are underway to regenerate the ancient Caledonian pine forest through careful deer management.
• •Geologically, you are standing on the massive Cairngorm granite pluton, which is essentially a very large, very cold, and very wet piece of prehistoric igneous plumbing.
• •Reaching this spot requires such a soul-crushingly long walk-in that you will likely experience three different weather systems and several existential crises before you even see the summit cairn.
