Tour Scotland Photographs Ben Macdui Cairngorms

Tour Scotland photograph of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms of Scotland. This is the second highest mountain in the United Kingdom after Ben Nevis, and the highest in the Cairngorms. After the defeat of Domnall mac Uilliam in 1187, Donnchad II, Earl of Fife, acquired Strathavon, territory stretching from Ballindalloch to Ben Macdui; because the mountain marked the western boundary of Donnchad's territory, historian and place-name scholar Professor G. W. S. Barrow suggested that the mountain took its name from Donnchad's family, the Mac Duibh.

Tour Scotland Photograph Carn a' Mhaim Cairngorms

Tour Scotland photograph of Carn a' Mhaim in the Cairngorms of Scotland. This Scottish mountain is notable in that it has the only ridge walk of any significance in the Cairngorms range. Its name translates from the Gaelic as Cairn of the large rounded hill, when viewed from the south it does appear as rounded, although in reality the mountain is a north-south oriented ridge. Another possible meaning of the name is Hill of the Pass derived from mam or mhaim, meaning pass. The mountain stands at the entrance of the Lairig Ghru pass, so this meaning is a possibility.
