Carn Maire

Rising above the northern shores of Loch Mullardoch, this high Tump offers a rugged, remote experience in the heart of the North West Highlands. Situated on a broad ridge south of Sgùrr na Lapaich, the terrain is characteristically wild, featuring steep, grassy slopes that lead to a summit overlooking the Monar Forest.

• •Translated from Gaelic as "Mary’s Cairn", the name likely commemorates a local figure, though the specific identity of Mary remains a mystery of the Monar Forest.
• •It forms part of the sprawling southern reaches of Sgùrr na Lapaich, serving as a topographical marker for those navigating the high ground between Glen Cannich and Glen Strathfarrar.
• •From the summit, the view south is dominated by the long stretch of Loch Mullardoch and the high, crenulated skyline of the Glen Affric Munros.
• •This is the kind of hill that walkers only visit if they have accidentally veered off the main ridge path or have developed an exhaustive obsession with every bump in the Highlands.
