An Suidhe

Rising to 514 metres on the southwestern tip of Mull near Bunessan, this Dodd takes its name from the Gaelic for 'seat' or 'sitting place'. The hill overlooks the Ross of Mull, offering views across to Iona and the islands beyond. A modest but rewarding climb in a remote corner of the island.

• •The name 'An Suidhe' derives from Scottish Gaelic meaning 'the seat' or 'the sitting place', likely referring to the hill's profile or possibly to an ancient gathering site, though no direct evidence of the latter survives.
• •A ruined township also named Suidhe lies about three-quarters of a mile west of Bunessan at the base of the hill, awarded Scheduled Monument status in 2004 for its potential to reveal information about post-medieval settlement patterns in the Western Isles.
• •The hill sits in one of Mull's most remote corners, where the Ross of Mull narrows to a peninsula barely two miles wide, caught between Loch Scridain to the north and the open Atlantic to the south.
