Meall Dubh

A modest Dodd rising to 545 metres in the southern Highlands, positioned near the NO068541 grid reference. The summit offers a straightforward objective for those exploring the quieter hills of this region, away from the more celebrated peaks further north and west.

• •The name Meall Dubh comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'black or dark hill', likely referring to the appearance of peat-stained slopes or dark vegetation cover that would have contrasted with surrounding terrain.
• •At 545 metres, this hill qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, classifications that celebrate Scotland's smaller summits and topographic prominences often overlooked by Munro baggers.
