Càrn Mairg

Càrn Mairg is a mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands rising to 1042 meters with steep slopes on its sides. It forms part of a ridge connecting several peaks including Càrn Gorm, Meall Garbh, and Creag Mhòr in the same range.

The mountain was classified as a Munro in Scottish mountaineering records, a designation for peaks exceeding 914 meters. This classification shaped mountain tourism in Scotland by attracting hikers seeking to summit the highest peaks.

The name comes from Scottish Gaelic, connecting the mountain landscape to Highland language traditions that remain part of the local identity. Walkers experience this heritage through place names and the way communities have shaped the land around them.

Hikers start from a parking area near Invervar and follow established walking paths marked with fence posts for navigation. These markers are especially helpful during poor weather conditions when visibility becomes difficult.

The summit offers views toward Loch Rannoch and the Lawers range that many walkers overlook while climbing. The area reveals native Highland ecosystems that thrive at this elevation, rewarding those who look around carefully.
