The main ridge of Carn na Drochaide runs from Creag a' Chleirich (650m) in the SE to Carn na Criche (737m) in the NW. The summit of Carn na Drochaide lies in the centre of this ridge, and from here a further ridge runs SSW. This ridge is labelled in OS maps as Carn Dearg but there is no top, just a broadening ridge. Tracks in Glen Quoich to the SW and Gleann an t-Slugain offer ascent routes, but the former is shorter and on easier slopes
A fine hill offering superb views of Beinn a'Bhuird and Ben Avon and equally fine views over Braemar on the descent. Best kept for a clear day. An easy day with good paths for much of the route.
