The Cairn o' Mount or Cairn o' Mounth is a hill in

Deeside.[1]

Before the modern

Scottish Tourist Board describes the modern B974 as an "adventurous" road, and it is often impassable due to snow or flooding
in winter.

The pass was used by

Viscount Dundee's army during the first Jacobite rising of 1689. The route over the pass is probably prehistoric: there is a cairn
in the pass that has been dated to approximately 2000 BC. It is possible that this cairn is the one named in the name of the Cairn o' Mount.
