Càrn nan Gobhar

Reaching 993 meters in elevation, Càrn nan Gobhar presents wide slopes covered with angular boulders leading to a broad, flat north-south ridge summit.

The mountain received its name from the Scottish Gaelic language, reflecting the presence of wild goats that historically inhabited these Highland slopes.

Local mountaineers consider Càrn nan Gobhar part of 'The Mullardochs', a group of four mountains forming the high ground between Loch Mullardoch and Loch Monar.

Access to the summit begins at the parking area near Loch Mullardoch dam, following the northern shore before ascending the steep southeastern ridge.

The mountain contains three primary ridges forming a triangular shape, with a notable south-facing corrie named Coire an t-Sith at its base.
