Directly across from Braemar on the opposite side of the River Dee, the heather-clad lump of Càrn na Drochaide rises above the estates of Invercauld and Mar Lodge.

Taken on its own, a delightful circuit can be made using the tracks and faint paths heading up from the forests surrounding Linn of Quoich and crossing Càrn na Criche and Càrn na Drochaide.

Càrn na Drochaide could also be climbed from Glenn an t-Slugain, possibly on the way to the grander peaks of Ben Avon and Beinn a' Bhuird, or when searching for the 'Secret Howf' by the pass at the head of the glen.
