Cairn Bannoch, Mountain summit in Aberdeenshire and Angus, Scotland.
Cairn Bannoch rises to 1012 meters with a prominence of 77 meters, featuring exposed rock formations and native vegetation throughout its slopes.
The mountain received its classification as a Munro during the systematic cataloging of Scottish peaks exceeding 3000 feet in the late 19th century.
Local mountaineering groups maintain detailed records of ascents, with over 12,000 documented climbs registered in the Walkhighlands community database.
Hikers can access the summit from multiple starting points, including the Spittal of Glenmuick track or the Glen Clova path via Bachnagairn.
The northeast section of the mountain reveals the hidden Creag an Dubh Loch cliff formation, which remains concealed from the mountain's peak.
