Cairnsmore of Fleet, Mountain summit in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Cairnsmore of Fleet reaches an elevation of 711 meters and forms an unforested granite massif within the Southern Uplands mountain range of Scotland.
The mountain area contains evidence of Bronze Age settlements and experienced significant changes during the 18th century when sheep farming replaced traditional hunting practices.
The summit features a memorial stone commemorating aircraft crew members who lost their lives in crashes on the mountain between 1940 and 1979.
The main ascent follows the Tourist Route, starting near Stronord and proceeding through Bardrochwood Moor forest to reach the mountain peak.
The mountain hosts Scotland's most extensive open moorland area and provides habitats for feral goats descended from animals abandoned centuries ago.
