Morrone, Mountain summit in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Standing at 859 meters, Morrone features a prominent trig point, a large cairn, and a radio mast near its highest elevation point.
The Morrone Birkwood area on the northern slopes contains plant species that have remained unchanged since the conclusion of the last ice age.
The mountain hosts the annual Braemar Gathering hill race each September, where participants compete in traditional Scottish highland athletic competitions.
The ascent begins at Chapel Brae in Braemar village, leading through woods to a viewpoint with information plaques identifying surrounding peaks.
This mountain represents the only major climbing route in Scotland that starts directly from the center of an inhabited village.
