Mountain Description
Carn Mairg is the highest Munro on the N side of Glen Lyon. The summit, which is rocky and ringed by crags, is located on the rim of Coire Chearcaill and has steep slopes on its S and W flanks. To the NW a broad ridge connects to Meall a' Bharr and onto Meall Garbh. To the E of the summit a broad ridge connecting to Meall Liath leads down to a coll from where easy slopes continue S to Meall na Aighean. The terrain of the lower slopes is grass with some rock outcrops, and slopes are moderate to easy inclines with the exception of Coire Chearcaill.
