Ben Macdui, Scotland's second highest mountain, rises up on the eastern side of the mighty Lairig Ghru, the glen that carves through the northern Cairngorms. Ben Macdui is nothing special itself, a fairly featureless rounded top, but the scenery is superb all along the route. It's a route best saved for a clear day to make navigation easier and the views worthwhile. Descend via the steep Goat Track for an exciting finish to the day.
