Cnap na Feola

Rising to 579 metres in the northern Highlands, this Dodd and Tump sits in rough, forested terrain west of Loch Ness. The summit offers a modest vantage point over Glen Urquhart and the surrounding hill country, though its relatively low elevation and wooded setting limit expansive views. A quiet hill rarely visited for its own sake.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'cnap na feòla', meaning 'knob of the flesh' or 'knob of the meat', possibly referring to the hill's rounded, fleshy profile or its use as hunting ground where game was taken.
• •The hill stands in the catchment area of Glen Urquhart, a valley with a long history of clan settlement, particularly the Grants who held lands here from the medieval period through to the Highland Clearances.
• •At 579 metres, the summit falls just 21 metres short of the 600-metre threshold that would classify it as a Simm, placing it firmly in the category of lower Highland tops often overlooked by Munro-baggers.
