Drochaid an Droma

Standing above the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, this 569-metre Dodd occupies forested and rough ground in the Arrochar Alps fringe. The name derives from Gaelic, meaning 'bridge of the ridge', likely referring to a natural crossing point or col along its summit spine. Remote and rarely visited as a destination in its own right.

• •The name 'Drochaid an Droma' translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'bridge of the ridge', suggesting the summit may have historically served as a crossing point along a broader ridgeline, or that a prominent col creates a natural saddle-like feature visible from the surrounding glens.
• •At 569 metres, this hill falls just short of the 610-metre threshold for Corbett status, placing it among Scotland's more modest summits despite its location in an area dominated by much loftier peaks like Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps proper.
• •The grid reference NN303305 places it in heavily forested terrain on the eastern Loch Lomond shore, an area where commercial forestry and restricted access can make even relatively low hills more challenging to reach than their height suggests.
