Cìr Mhòr, Mountain summit in North Ayrshire, Scotland
Rising to 799 meters above sea level, Cìr Mhòr features steep rocky faces and a distinctive pointed peak resembling the shape of a cockscomb.
The mountain has served as a natural landmark for maritime navigation since the medieval period, guiding vessels through the waters around the Isle of Arran.
The name Cìr Mhòr comes from Scottish Gaelic, translating to 'big comb' in English, reflecting the local language heritage of the Highland region.
Hikers can access the summit through marked trails connecting to The Saddle, with the main route starting from the Glen Rosa car park.
The mountain contains specific geological formations that demonstrate the volcanic processes that shaped the Isle of Arran 60 million years ago.
