Meall Breac

A modest Dodd rising to 565 metres in the West Highlands, situated in the rugged country inland from the Sound of Sleat. The grid reference places it in a remote corner of the Knoydart peninsula, where trackless terrain and complex ground characterise most approaches. Summit views reward the effort with perspectives across wild, sparsely populated landscapes.

• •The name 'Meall Breac' derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'speckled hill' or 'dappled hill', likely referring to the mottled appearance created by patches of vegetation, rock, and heather across its slopes.
• •At 565 metres, this hill qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, placing it among Scotland's smaller classified summits that nonetheless demand serious navigation skills in a region with few paths and challenging access.
• •The grid reference NG794081 positions the summit in one of mainland Scotland's most remote quarters, where the nearest vehicular access typically involves either a long walk-in from Kinloch Hourn or a boat crossing to Knoydart.
