Corbett · Southern Uplands
Cairnsmore of Carsphairn
Cairnsmore of Carsphairn is a 797m (2615ft) Corbett in Dumfries and Galloway, in the Southern Uplands region of Scotland. As a Corbett — a Scottish hill between 2,500 and 3,000 feet with at least 500 feet of re-ascent on all sides — it offers a serious hill day without the crowds that the higher Munros attract.
