About Cnoc Uadhall
Rising to 544 metres in the Northwest Highlands, this Dodd occupies rough, remote terrain east of Loch Duich. The summit sits amid complex country where rocky knolls and hidden lochans characterise the approach. A hill for those comfortable with navigation in wild, unfrequented ground rather than well-trodden paths.
