Cairn of Claise

Rising to 1064 meters above sea level, Cairn of Claise features a broad plateau on the eastern side of the Cairnwell Pass region.

The stone wall at the summit marks a traditional boundary line between historical counties, serving as a geographical reference point through generations.

The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Hill of the Hollows', reflecting the local linguistic heritage of the Aberdeenshire region.

Hikers can access multiple routes to the summit, including paths from Glen Isla through Monega Hill or connecting trails to neighboring peaks Tolmount and Tom Buidhe.

Located near Glenshee Ski Center, this mountain combines natural elevation markers with established walking paths across its eastern plateau section.
