Càrn Aosda

Càrn Aosda is a Scottish mountain situated 12.5 km south of the town of Braemar, in the county of Aberdeenshire. It stands near the summit of the Cairnwell Pass on the A93 road, in the midst of the Glenshee Ski Centre.
== Overview ==
Càrn Aosda reaches a height of 917 metres (3008 feet), at one point in time it had the honour of being the lowest of the Munros but more accurate mapping techniques have changed this and it is now the 279th ranked mountain in that classification.〔(www.scottishsport.co.uk. ) Gives Munros in height order.〕 Càrn Aosda, along with the adjoining Munro of The Cairnwell, is regarded as the easiest of the Munros to ascend,〔"The Munros, Scotland‘s Highest Mountains" Pages 104 “The Cairnwell and Càrn Aosda are probably the most accessible Munros in the country“.〕 this is because of the high starting altitude of over 640 metres at the ski centre and the easy walking conditions on rough vehicle tracks which lead directly to the summit. A fit hill walker can complete the 275 metre ascent from the centre car park in half an hour.
Apart from being the easiest Munro, Càrn Aosda also has the reputation as being one of the most despoiled,〔"The High Mountains of Britain and Ireland" Page 144 “The commercial development on their slopes make these hills even less inviting than before“.〕 with the mountain having snow fences, ski tow supports, huts and vehicle tracks right up to the summit as part of the Glenshee ski centre. The mountain has four pistes on its slopes, there is a run for beginners plus two for intermediate level on the easier slopes which go south from the summit into Butchart’s Corrie. There is a piste ranked as difficult on the steeper slopes of the eastern shoulder. There are also three towbar lifts on the southern slopes to service the ski runs one of which goes past the 900 metre mark to just a few metres from the summit.〔(ski.visitscotland.com. ) Map giving details of pistes and ski tows on mountain.〕
The mountain's name translates from the Scottish Gaelic language as "Aged Hill/Cairn" with ''aosda'' meaning aged or ancient and most guide books carry this meaning.〔"The Munros" Page 104 Gives translation as “Hill of Age“.〕 However an alternative meaning has been put forward as “Hill of the Inn” derived from the word ''òsda'', in history there was an inn at the foot of the mountain at the Sean Spittal bridge where the Cairnwell Burn flows under the main Cairnwell pass road and this is could possibly have given the mountain its name.〔"The Magic of the Munros" Page 94 Gives translation as “Hill of the Inn“.〕
