From the Wikipedia article
Càrn Mòr Dearg (Scottish Gaelic for 'great red cairn') is the eighth-highest mountain in Scotland and the British Isles, with a height of 1,221.1 metres (4,006 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 (commonly abbreviated to "CMD arête"). Along with Càrn Dearg Meadhanach ("middle red cairn") and Càrn Beag Dearg ("little red cairn"), it makes up the eastern ridge of the horseshoe-shaped Ben Nevis massif in the Scottish Highlands.
