The Saddle

A modest Dodd rising to 521 metres in the southern Scottish Highlands, with the grid reference placing it in the Trossachs region north of Loch Lomond. The name describes the characteristic saddle-shaped profile visible from certain approaches. Not to be confused with the famous Munro of the same name near Glen Shiel.

• •The name 'The Saddle' refers to the dip or col formation along the summit ridge, a descriptive English term commonly applied to hills with this characteristic profile when viewed from particular angles.
• •This hill shares its name with the far more famous Munro in Kintail (1,010m), which can cause confusion in route planning – always check grid references when researching the walk.
