Càrn na Drochaide is an easy Corbett to tackle from the Linn of Quoich. At 818m tall, there are some good views south to Braemar, and to the larger Munros to the North. The fastest ascent is to come straight up from the south, though there are some rough tracks on the north west side, which could be used to make a circuit of a walk rather than up and down.
