Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn an t-Sagairt Mor has a conical summit elongated SE to NW. To the SE of the summit lies the broad moorland plateau of Cairn Bannoch. To the N moderate slopes give way to more gentle inclines leading to tracks through the Ballochbuie Forest to Bridge of Dee. To the W there are moderate to steep slopes down to Loch Callater. Finally, to the NE a broad col connects to Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, beyond which lies the crags of The Stuic overlooking Loch nan Eun.

Cac Carn Beag, Carn a' Choire Bhoideach and Carn an t-Sagairt Mor
|
Lochnagar is a classic mountain with its deep corrie and steep cliffs, yet this is an easy route on paths. The other two peaks on this route are little more than high points on an undulating moorland plateau, therefore, this route is really a long walk!

It is worth adding this peak to Lochnagar and Carn a' Choire Bhoideach simply because Lochnagar aside the ascents are simple. As this is about the as far from Spittle of Glenmuick as you get it is worth making a fine horseshoe and continuing over Broad Cairn and Cairn Bannoch completing a circuit of Loch Muick.

The walk up Glen Callater on the west approach is interesting and there is an excellent stalkers path from the buildings at the west end of Loch Callater.

Look out for the remains of a Canberra aircraft which crashed near the summit in 1956.
