Leac nan Cisteachan

Standing above Glen Strathfarrar in the Northwest Highlands, this 590-metre Dodd offers a relatively modest ascent in remote country. The summit sits amid rough, heathery terrain typical of the region, with views along the glen's wooded length toward the higher peaks beyond. Solitude is virtually guaranteed on this overlooked height.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Leac nan Cisteachan', meaning 'the slab of the coffins' or 'the slab of the chests', likely referring to a distinctive flat rock feature on or near the summit that resembled the shape of coffins or storage chests.
• •Glen Strathfarrar, which this hill overlooks, remains one of Scotland's most restricted glens with vehicle access controlled by a locked gate, preserving its remarkably quiet character even during peak walking season.
• •The hill qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, placing it among Scotland's middle-tier hills that reward effort with isolation rather than bragging rights.
