Leth Chreag

A modest Dodd rising to 598 metres in the wild country of Wester Ross, sitting amid rugged terrain north of Glen Elchaig. The summit offers hard-won views across a landscape of scattered lochans and rough moorland, where the effort required is often greater than the relatively modest height might suggest.

• •The name Leth Chreag derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'half rock' or 'half crag', likely describing a hill that presents a rocky face on one side while the other slopes away more gently.
• •At 597.7 metres, this summit sits just below the 600-metre threshold that hillwalkers often use as a psychological benchmark, yet the terrain underfoot can prove more challenging than many higher peaks with better paths.
• •The hill's grid reference places it in the NG square, indicating its position in the northwestern Highlands where Norse place names jostle with Gaelic throughout the surrounding landscape.
