Maol Breac SE Top

A subsidiary summit on the southeastern shoulder of the larger Maol Breac massif in the southern Highlands. At 598 metres, this top sits just below the threshold for mountain status but offers a quieter alternative to more frequented peaks. The terrain is typical Highland moorland with grassy slopes and scattered rock outcrops.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'maol breac', meaning 'speckled bare hill' or 'dappled bald hill', likely describing the patchy appearance of grass, heather, and exposed rock across its slopes.
• •As a Dodd and Tump, this summit qualifies for two specialist classifications based on prominence thresholds, though it falls short of Marilyn status which requires 150 metres of prominence.
• •The coordinate notation shows an eastern longitude, but this is almost certainly a data error - the grid reference NN265151 places it firmly west of the Greenwich meridian in the Trossachs area north of Loch Lomond.
