Carn na Drochaide

Carn na Drochaide is a 818m (2684ft) Corbett in Aberdeenshire, in the Cairngorms 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.
