Maol Disnich

Rising to 579 metres in the Northwest Highlands, this modest Dodd sits amid rugged country at grid reference NH085098. The Gaelic name translates as 'bare rounded hill of the bog', a forthright description of both its summit character and surrounding terrain. A hill for those drawn to quieter corners rather than peak collections.

• •The name Maol Disnich derives from the Gaelic 'maol' meaning bare or bald, and 'disneach' relating to boggy or marshy ground, offering a candid assessment of what walkers will encounter both underfoot and at the rounded summit.
• •At exactly 1900 feet, the hill sits just shy of the 2000-foot threshold that defines the Graham classification, placing it among Scotland's more modest summits despite the typically challenging Highland terrain that surrounds it.
