Druim a' Ghiubhais

Rising to 526 metres above the forested glens west of Strathconon, this modest Dodd occupies the high ground between Glen Orrin and the remote Strathfarrar hills. The name translates from Gaelic as 'ridge of the pines', though the summit itself breaks free of the treeline. Views extend across the interior hills of Ross-shire to the Glen Affric peaks beyond.

• •The name Druim a' Ghiubhais derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'ridge of the pines' or 'ridge of the fir trees', reflecting the extensive Caledonian pine and mixed woodlands that clothe the lower slopes throughout Glen Orrin and Strathfarrar.
• •The hill stands within one of Scotland's most extensive areas of commercial and regenerating native forestry, part of the vast Affric-Cannich-Beauly forest complex that stretches across much of western Ross-shire.
• •Though modest in height, its position between two major hydroelectric schemes—Loch Mullardoch to the west and the Glen Orrin reservoir system to the east—places it amid some of the most engineered Highland landscapes of the mid-20th century.
