Càrn a' Gheòidh, Mountain summit in Mounth region, Scotland.

The summit of Càrn a' Gheòidh reaches 975 meters above sea level and features two small lochans along its northeastern ridge connecting to The Cairnwell.

The mountain's name originates from Gaelic language, translating to 'Hill of the Goose', marking the historical presence of these birds in the Scottish Highlands.

The mountain stands at the border between Perth and Kinross and Aberdeenshire council areas, representing the geographical divisions of Scottish administrative territories.

Climbers can start their ascent from Glenshee Ski Centre, following established paths that lead to the summit marked by a boulder cairn.

The mountain functions as a natural watershed between the River Tay and River Dee systems, directing water flow toward Scotland's east coast.
