Meall Gorm

A modest Dodd rising to 526 metres in the central Highlands, positioned near the grid reference NN534601. The name translates from Gaelic as 'blue-green hill', likely describing the appearance of the slopes from a distance. Its relatively low height and classification suggest a quieter, less-tramped summit than neighbouring higher peaks.

• •The name 'Meall Gorm' derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'meall' meaning a rounded hill or lump, and 'gorm' meaning blue or blue-green, probably referring to the colour of vegetation or heather covering the slopes when viewed from afar.
• •Despite sharing its name with several other Scottish hills, this particular Meall Gorm's modest 526-metre height places it well below Munro status, making it one of many similarly-named minor summits scattered across the Highlands.
