Mam Sodhail, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland
Mam Sodhail reaches a height of 1,181 meters, making it the second highest mountain north of the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands.
The massive cairn at the summit was constructed during the Ordnance Survey's initial mapping of the northern Highlands in the 1840s and contains a visitor book.
The mountain's name comes from Gaelic 'Màm Sabhail', translating to 'rounded mountain of barns' in the traditional Highland nomenclature system.
The ascent begins at the Glen Affric car park, offering multiple path options including the stalker's path through Coire Leachavie or via Sgurr na Lapaich.
The remains of a small deerstalker's bothy lie just below the summit, marking a historical location used for monitoring mountain activities.
