Càrn nan Gobhar, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland.
Càrn nan Gobhar is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands with an elevation of about 993 meters and broad slopes covered in large angular boulders. The summit features a flat ridge that runs north to south, creating a distinctive platform at the top.
The mountain's name comes from Scottish Gaelic and refers to wild goats that once lived on these Highland slopes. This naming reflects the animal history that shaped the region.
This mountain forms part of a group of four peaks that local climbers know as a connected range between two lochs. The name itself comes from Scottish Gaelic and refers to the wild goats that once roamed these slopes.
The climb starts at a parking area near the Loch Mullardoch dam, where you can leave your car before heading out. From there, you follow the northern lakeshore before heading up the steep southeastern ridge to reach the top.
The mountain has three main ridges forming a triangular shape that gives it a distinctive geometric profile. On the south-facing side sits a corrie named Coire an t-Sith, a feature that many walkers overlook.
