Part of the Monadhliath Mountain range, Carn Sgùlain sits on the northwest border of the magnificent Cairngorms National Park. At 3,018 feet (920 m), this is a Munro but it’s often cited as one of the least interesting. You can mitigate this by bagging neighbour A’ Chailleach too, a far more visually interesting peak. For a longer adventure, you can add in Càrn Dearg as well, which lies to the west.

A starkly featureless Munro. Strangely befitting of its surroundings as the Granite topped mountains of the Cairngorms are left to the South and the remote wilds of the Monadhliath (translates to Grey Mountains) begin.

Very long and sometimes very muddy path from Carn Dearg
