Càrn Eige
Càrn Eige, sometimes spelt Càrn Eighe, is a mountain in the north of Scotland. At an elevation of above sea level, it is the highest mountain in northern Scotland (north of the Great Glen), the twelfth-highest summit above sea level in the British Isles, and, in terms of relative height (topographic prominence), it is the second-tallest mountain in the British Isles after Ben Nevis (its "parent peak" for determination of topographic prominence). The highpoint of the historic county of Ross and Cromarty, it is the twin summit of the massif, being mirrored by the Mam Sodhail, to the south on the same ridge.
Administratively, it is in the Highland council area, on the boundary between the historic counties of Inverness and Ross and Cromarty, on the former lands of the Clan Chisholm. The mountain is difficult to access, being from the nearest road, and its sub-peak to the north is even more inaccessible.
==Etymology==
The name "Càrn Eige" comes from the Scottish Gaelic language, and probably means either ''File Hill'' or ''Notch Hill''. An alternative translation, if it were to be called "Càrn Eigh", would be the ''Hill of Ice''; this would make it the only Scottish mountain with the word "ice" in its name.
