Breagach Hill

Rising to 557 metres in the Aberdeenshire uplands, this Dodd and Tump sits east of the River Avon near its confluence with the Spey. The summit offers a strategic viewpoint over the forested hills and farmland of the Moray fringe, though the approach typically involves navigating mixed woodland and rough ground.

• •The name 'Breagach' derives from the Gaelic 'breac' meaning speckled or spotted, likely describing the hill's patchy vegetation cover or the dappled appearance of its slopes when seen from a distance.
• •At 557 metres, Breagach Hill falls just short of the 610-metre threshold required for Corbett status, placing it among Scotland's mid-height hills that often receive less attention than their loftier neighbours.
• •The grid reference NJ331135 places this hill in the transitional zone between the higher Cairngorms to the south and the lower agricultural lands of Moray to the north.
