About Cnoc Gille Mo Bhrianaig
Standing in the rugged country northwest of Loch Ness, this 547-metre Dodd occupies forestry-edged terrain between Strathglass and Glen Affric. The summit lies within a landscape of working forestry and open moorland, typical of the transition zone between Highland glens. Views extend across the Great Glen and surrounding hills when the cloud lifts.

Classifications
Did You Know?
- •The name derives from Gaelic, translating roughly as 'hill of the servant (or lad) of St Brianaig' – a dedication to an obscure Celtic saint whose identity is now lost to history, though the name suggests an early Christian hermitage or chapel may once have stood in the vicinity.
- •The hill's classification as a Dodd – a name coined by the Scottish Mountaineering Club for hills between 2,000 and 2,500 feet with sufficient separation – places it among a distinctive tier of Scottish hills valued by those seeking quieter summits beyond the Munro crowds.
