Càrn na Saobhaidhe is the highest point on the vast moorland and rolling landscape in the Monadhliath north of the Glen Markie and Strathdearn divide.

With windfarm developments encroaching from the north and west, approaches from these directions are best avoided if you wish to experience the wilderness of the Monadhliath. The bulldozed estate tracks on the upper reaches from Dunmaglass are particularly unsightly.

Scenery while heading in from the east through Strathdearn and following the River FindHòrn is enchanting. Use of a sturdy bike is recommended !
