The Cairnwell, Mountain summit in Grampian Mountains, Scotland
The Cairnwell reaches an elevation of 933 meters and features three radio towers at its peak, making it recognizable from considerable distances.
The establishment of the Glenshee Ski Centre in the 1960s transformed The Cairnwell from a natural mountain peak into a developed recreational area.
The Cairnwell belongs to the Munros, the collection of Scottish mountains exceeding 3,000 feet, which attract mountain climbers from across the world.
Access to The Cairnwell starts from the A93 Perth to Braemar road, where parking facilities are located at an elevation of over 2,000 feet.
The radio towers on The Cairnwell stand at 933 meters above sea level, potentially representing the highest positioned communication structures in Scotland.
