Càrn a' Mhàim, Mountain summit in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Located in the Cairngorms range, Càrn a' Mhàim rises to 1,037 meters with steep slopes descending into the Lairig Ghru and Luibeg Burn valleys.
The mountain's name originates from Gaelic language, translating to 'Cairn of the large rounded hill', reflecting the traditional naming patterns of Scottish peaks.
The mountain serves as a testament to Scottish mountaineering traditions, with numerous climbing clubs regularly organizing expeditions to its summit.
Hikers access the mountain from the Linn of Dee car park, following a path to Derry Lodge before tackling the steep southern slope.
The mountain features a two-kilometer narrow crest connecting to Ben Macdhui, representing the sole notable ridge within the Cairngorms range.
