Leac Ghorm

Rising to 593 metres in the eastern Highlands, this Dodd and Tump sits amid the forested and moorland terrain north of the Angus glens. The summit offers a modest but genuine viewpoint across the Grampian uplands, rewarded by a straightforward ascent through typical Highland forestry and open ground.

• •The name Leac Ghorm derives from Scottish Gaelic, translating as 'blue slab' or 'grey-green flat stone', likely referring to a distinctive rock feature on or near the summit that would have served as a landmark for local Gaelic speakers navigating this upland terrain.
• •Its grid reference places it within the Angus Glens area, a landscape historically shaped by droving routes that moved cattle south from the Highlands to market towns, with many smaller hills serving as waypoints and grazing stops.
• •As a Dodd, it qualifies as one of Scotland's hills between 2000 and 2999 feet with a prominence of at least 15 metres, a classification that captures modest summits often overlooked in favour of their loftier Munro neighbours.
