Glac a' Chaise

A Dodd-classified hill rising to 579 metres in the Scottish Highlands, positioned in the rugged country between Strathglass and Glen Affric. The summit sits at grid reference NH678014, offering a modest but honest ascent through typical Highland terrain. Its classification marks it as a hill of local rather than national prominence.

• •The name Glac a' Chaise derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'glac' meaning a hollow or dell, and 'a' chaise' likely relating to 'caise' (steepness) or 'cas' (a twist or turn), suggesting a steep-sided or winding hollow that characterises the hill's topography.
• •As a Dodd, this hill meets the criteria of being between 500 and 600 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence, placing it in a distinctive category of Scottish hills that fall just short of Donald status.
• •The hill's location near the NH678014 grid reference places it in country that would have been familiar to drovers moving cattle through the glens between Strathglass and the higher passes toward the west coast.
