Broad Cairn, Mountain summit in Grampian Mountains, Scotland
Broad Cairn rises to 998 meters above sea level, featuring a stone-marked summit and offering views across the Scottish Highlands and River Dee valley.
The designation of Broad Cairn as a Munro occurred during the systematic categorization of Scottish mountains exceeding 3,000 feet by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891.
Scottish mountaineers regularly include Broad Cairn in their Munro-bagging expeditions, a traditional practice of climbing all classified peaks in the country.
The mountain presents multiple ascent routes from Glen Doll and Glen Muick, with the summer months providing extended daylight hours for climbing activities.
The summit contains exposed granite formations typical of Grampian Mountains geology, shaped by millions of years of glacial and weathering processes.
