Monadhliath Mountains means "grey mountains". Running in a northeast to southwest direction, the mountains lie on the western side of Strathspey, to the west of the Cairngorms and to the south east of Loch Ness. The mountains are within the Highland council area, and the south and east fringes are within the Cairngorms National Park. The high point of the range is Càrn Dearg, at 945 m/3100ft, located 24 km south of Inverness.
A quick trip up Gael Charn (Monadhliath) on my way to Riasg, in turn on my way to Strathfarrar. Never seen so many people (12+) or indeed anybody, on this obscure hill
