It can be accessed from several directions, South from Glen Mark, North from Glen Tanar, and East to Braid Cairn.<\/p>\n<p>It is a moderate walk which is most popularly started by mountain bike, riding through the native Caledonian pine forest of Glen Tanar from Aboyne. On a good day, the Cairngorms, especially Lochnagar, can be seen. The summit is marked by a trig point.<\/p>\n<p>Path quality is very good on the approach to the mountain. There is a wide forestry track most of the way to the foot of the mountain if approaching from Aboyne and Glen Tanar. The path quality on the mountain itself is also good on this route although it becomes quite rocky near the top and can be frozen and slippery in winter months.<\/p>\n<p>The summit is found at the end of a zig-zag path. Its name originates from Gaelic \u201cmonadh caoin\u201d and means \u201csmooth or pleasant hill\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0location of the pin on Google Maps is a guide
