Carn Suidhe Ghoiril

Rising to 585 metres in the Scottish Highlands near Glen Garry, this modest summit occupies forest and rough moorland country west of Loch Ness. The hill qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, rewarding those who venture onto its quiet upper slopes with seclusion rarely found on more celebrated peaks nearby.

• •The name derives from Gaelic, with 'Carn' meaning cairn or pile of stones, 'Suidhe' meaning seat or resting place, and 'Ghoiril' likely referring to a local person or family named Goiril, suggesting this was once a recognised landmark or meeting point.
• •The grid reference NH539136 places this hill in the Great Glen area, positioned between the more frequently walked routes along Loch Ness to the east and the Affric hills to the west.
• •As a Dodd, it stands among Scotland's hills between 500 and 2999 feet with at least 30 feet of drop on all sides, a classification cataloguing many of the country's overlooked yet characterful summits.
