Ben Macdui, also spelled Ben Macdhui and Ben MacDui is the highest mountain in the Cairngorms of Scotland, and the second highest in the United Kingdom after Ben Nevis. It lies on the southern edge of the Cairn Gorm plateau, on the boundary between Aberdeenshire and Moray. Probably the easiest route of ascent is from the Coire Cas car park at the foot of Cairngorm Ski Centre by way of a path that leads up over slowly rising moorland.

- Ben Macdui, also spelled Ben Macdhui and Ben MacDui is the highest mountain in the Cairngorms of Scotland, and the second highest in the United Kingdom after Ben Nevis. It lies on the southern edge of the Cairn Gorm plateau, on the boundary between Aberdeenshire and Moray. Probably the easiest route of ascent is from the Coire Cas car park at the foot of Cairngorm Ski Centre by way of a path that leads up over slowly rising moorland. This route is approximately 7 km (4 mi) in length; a somewhat longer route allows one to also climb Cairn Gorm. One possible alternative route follows the path coming up from Loch Etchachan. This loch may be reached by from Loch Avon to the north or by coming up from Glen Derry to the South. Other routes include coming over Derry Cairngorm, or via the Lairig Ghru pass, which lies to the west of Ben Macdui. Nearly all these routes are long days by Scottish standards. When coming from the south it is common to make use of a bicycle to cover the 4 km (2½ mi) separating the road end at Linn of Dee from Derry Lodge at the southern end of the massif. Before the production of accurate maps of Scotland in the nineteenth century it was not known for certain that Ben Nevis was the highest point in Britain, and it was often thought that Ben Macdui might be the higher. After Ben Nevis was confirmed as the higher there were plans by some locals to build a cairn on the summit of Ben Macdui sufficient to bring its height above that of the Lochaber peak, though these plans did not come to fruition. The summit of the mountain has a direction indicator erected in 1925 by the Cairngorm Club of Aberdeen in memory of a past president, Mr. Alexander Copland. The indicator shows the direction of the most important hills that can be seen from the summit in clear weather. It is claimed that Ben Macdui is the home of Am Fear Liath Mòr (the "big grey man of Ben Macdui"). Opinion is divided as to the substance behind this reported phenomenon, which it is claimed resembles either a Brocken spectre or a yeti. Snow-patches have been known to persist at various locations on Ben Macdui, most notably Garbh Uisge Beag.
- Der Ben Macdhui (gälisch Beinn Mhic Dhuibh) ist mit 1.309 Metern nach dem Ben Nevis der zweithöchste Berg Schottlands und damit auch Großbritanniens. Er liegt in der Bergkette der Cairngorms, die sich über den größten Teil des östlichen und zentralen schottischen Hochlandes erstreckt. Vor der Vermessung und Erstellung genauer Karten durch die staatliche Vermessungsgesellschaft Ordnance Survey hielt man den Ben Macdhui für den höchsten Punkt in Großbritannien. Als nach genauen Vermessungen jedoch bestätigt wurde, dass der höchste Berg der Ben Nevis ist, gab es Vorschläge, auf dem Gipfel eine Steinsäule zu errichten, damit der Ben Macdhui wieder als höchster Berg gelten konnte. Die Pläne wurden allerdings nicht in die Tat umgesetzt. Der Legende nach ist Ben Macdhui auch die Heimat von Am Fear Liath Mòr („der große graue Mann“), der dem Yeti ähnlich sein soll.

- Ben Macdhui er et fjell i Cairngorms i det skotske høylandet i Storbritannia. Fjellet er 1 309 meter over havet, og er derfor det nest høyeste fjellet i Skottland og i Storbritannia. Det er det høyeste fjellet i Cairngorms. Fjellet har en relativ høyde på 950 meter, den niende høyeste i Storbritannia. Etter britisk klassifisering av fjell regnes Ben Madhui som en «munro» og en «marilyn».
- Ben Macdui är ett berg i bergskedjan Cairngorm i Skottland, på gränsen mellan Aberdeenshire och Moray. Med sina 1 309 m är det det näst högsta berget i Storbritannien, efter Ben Nevis.
