Cadha Mòr is an imposing and majestic hill located in Inverness-shire in the Scottish Highlands. Rising to an elevation of 1,512 feet (461 meters), it stands as a prominent landmark in the region. Situated near the village of Cannich, Cadha Mòr offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

With its distinctive cone-shaped peak, Cadha Mòr presents a moderate challenge for climbers. The ascent to the summit involves traversing through rugged terrain, including heather-covered slopes and rocky outcrops. However, the reward for reaching the top is well worth the effort, as it provides an unparalleled vantage point to admire the picturesque Glen Affric and the distant peaks of the Scottish Highlands.

The hill is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including native Scottish wildlife such as red deer, golden eagles, and ptarmigan. The surrounding area is also abundant in natural beauty, with tranquil lochs, cascading waterfalls, and ancient Caledonian pine forests.

Cadha Mòr holds historical significance as well, with traces of human activity dating back to the Iron Age. Remains of an ancient fort can still be found on its slopes, serving as a testament to the hill's enduring connection to human settlement throughout the ages.

Whether one seeks adventure, natural beauty, or a glimpse into Scotland's rich history, a visit to Cadha Mòr promises an unforgettable experience amidst the untamed splendor of the Scottish Highlands.
