Did You Know?

- •The hill lies close to the Highland Boundary Fault, the geological divide separating the Highlands from the Central Lowlands, making it part of a landscape shaped by ancient tectonic collisions over 400 million years ago.
- •As a Dodd, it qualifies for a classification reserved for Scottish hills between 2,000 and 2,999 feet with sufficient prominence, a list that celebrates modestly elevated summits often overlooked in favour of their loftier neighbours.
