From the Wikipedia article
Cairnsmore of Carsphairn (Scottish Gaelic: Càrnas Mòr Cars Feàrna) is a hill in the Carsphairn and Scaur Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. An alternative name, rarely used nowadays, is Cairnsmore of Deugh (Càrnas Mòr Dubhach). Both of these qualifiers are used to distinguish this hill from the two other Cairnsmores in Galloway: Cairnsmore of Fleet and Cairnsmore of Dee. It is the highest hill in the range, and its summit is just under six kilometres (3+1⁄2 mi) northeast of Carsphairn village as the crow flies, in the far north of Kirkcudbrightshire.
