Bishop's Seat

Rising to 504 metres in the hills northwest of Loch Lomond, this Dodd offers a modest summit with views across the heavily forested landscape of the Loch Ard Forest. The approach typically involves navigating plantation forestry on the lower slopes before reaching more open ground higher up. A quiet hill rarely visited outside local walking circles.

• •The name likely derives from a natural rock formation or viewpoint thought to resemble a bishop's throne or seat, a common naming pattern across Scotland for prominent rocky outcrops with commanding views.
• •The summit sits within the extensive Loch Ard Forest plantations, part of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, requiring careful navigation through forestry tracks that have changed considerably since the original Ordnance Survey mapping.
• •At 504 metres, it falls just short of the 500-metre threshold that draws most peak-baggers, ensuring it remains one of the quieter summits in an area otherwise busy with hillwalkers heading for the nearby Arrochar Alps and Ben Lomond.
