Maol a' Chapuill

A modest Dodd rising above the western shore of Loch Earn in the Breadalbane hills. The ascent from the lochside offers straightforward walking through a mix of open hillside and rougher ground, rewarding the modest effort with views across the water to Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin's distinctive paired summits.

• •The name Maol a' Chapuill derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'bare hill of the horse' or 'rounded hill of the mare', likely referring to its smooth, unbroken profile when viewed from Loch Earn below.
• •The hill forms part of the southern ramparts of Glen Tarken, a quiet valley running northward toward Loch Earn's headwaters, less walked than the popular Munros immediately across the loch.
• •Despite its modest height, the summit provides a particularly fine perspective of Ben Vorlich's southern flanks, revealing the complex corrie structure hidden from lower viewpoints.
