Càrn Mòr Dearg
Càrn Mor Dearg (Scottish Gaelic - Big Red Cairn) is the eighth highest of the
Scottish Munros. It is situated in the west of Scotland, close to the town of
Fort William, in
Lochaber,
Highland. It lies just to the east of its much more famous neighbour,
Ben Nevis, to which it is linked by the spectacular Carn Mor Dearg
arête.
The ascent of Càrn Mor Dearg from the north (start by golf course), the traverse of the arête, and the scramble up the north side of Ben Nevis make one of the best horse-shoe routes in Scotland.
