Mam Sodhail is Carn Eighe's twin, just under 1 km to the south above Glen Affric. Its top carries a huge, hollow cairn built by Ordnance Survey surveyors in the 1840s, which you have to climb into, though the true high point is a rock by a tiny cairn a little to the south-east. Just below are the ruins of a stalkers' bothy with its fireplace and chimney. The Gaelic name, Màm Sabhail, is often translated as 'rounded hill of barns'.
