Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name Cnoc Chleamants derives from Scottish Gaelic, where 'cnoc' means hill and 'cleamants' may reference cleats or pegs, possibly describing prominent rocky projections or the hill's distinctive profile when viewed from the glens below.
  • As a Dodd, this hill qualifies by reaching the 500-metre threshold with sufficient prominence to stand as an independent summit, part of a classification system that recognises Scotland's middling peaks beyond the more celebrated Munros and Corbetts.
