Mountain Description
|
|
|
Morrone also known as Morven lies to the SW of and overlooking Braemar. Morrone lies at the N end of a long winding ridge, Carn na Drochaide (830m) marking the S end. There are some steeper slopes to the E of this ridge, and Morrone has a stony aspect to the summit. However hazards are diminished by the well defined path from Braemar and the hill track that leads up the E slopes to the summit of Morrone. If the weather closes in follow either to get down.

Park at the top of Chapel Brae, just before the duck pond. The signposted path begins just east of the viewpont shown on the OS map and is easy to follow; nearer the summit it levels off and becomes a wide, stony track. A very good viewpoint.
