Mountain in the Scottish Highlands
Càrn Mòr Dearg (Scottish Gaelic for 'great red peak') is the ninth-highest mountain in Scotland and the British Isles, with a height of 1,220 metres (4,000 ft). It stands a short distance northeast of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, to which it is linked by the 'Càrn Mòr Dearg arête'. Along with Càrn Dearg Meadhanach ('middle red peak') and Càrn Beag Dearg ('little red peak'), it makes up the eastern ridge of the horseshoe-shaped Ben Nevis massif in the Scottish Highlands.
