Carn an Righ

Glas Tulaichean and Carn an Righ are in the remote area between the head of Glen Tilt and Glen Shee, and are most easily reached from the A93 road at Spittal of Glenshee, from where they are about 10 kilometres distant to the north-west. Glas Tulaichean is a sprawling mountain with five ridges radiating south and west from its summit and two fine corries on its east face. Three kilometres to its north-west, Carn an Righ is very isolated mountain in the heart of the wild land midway between Blair Atholl and Braemar.

The approach from Spittal of Glenshee goes past Dalmunzie Hotel and up Glen Lochsie to the ruins of Glenlochsie Lodge. Then go north up a broad ridge which leads directly to the summit of Glas Tulaichean. Go down the north ridge for 1 kilometre and descend north-west to reach the path below Mam nan Carn. Follow this west for 1 kilometre to a col and finally climb heather and grass mixed with patches of stones to the summit of Carn an Righ. Return along the path to the col at the foot of the north ridge of Glas Tulaichean, cross it and descend Glas Choire Bheag into the head of Gleann Taitneach. Continue back to Spittal of Glenshee along the track in this glen.
