Carn na Coire Mheadhoin

Situated on the rugged northern spine of Mullach Fraoch-choire, this stony Munro Top overlooks the wild heart of Glen Affric. Its position on a high-altitude plateau makes for a demanding day of walking, characterized by expansive views across remote glens and the dramatic, shattered rock typical of the North West Highlands.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as the 'Cairn of the Middle Corrie', referring to its position overlooking the central hollows of the mountain's northern face.
• •Walkers typically reach this summit by traversing the airy northern ridge of its parent peak, Mullach Fraoch-choire, a route that involves navigating a series of modest but enjoyable rocky pinnacles.
• •The summit provides an exceptional vantage point for looking north across the deep trench of Glen Affric toward the towering massifs of Mam Sodhail and Sgùrr na Lapaich.
• •At 997.9 metres, the hill misses out on the 1,000-metre milestone by a distance roughly equivalent to the height of a standard domestic doorway.
