Meall a' Bhrodainn

A modest Dodd rising above the southern shore of Loch Linnhe in the West Highlands, positioned between Ballachulish and the Morven peninsula. The summit offers views across the sea loch to the dramatic peaks of the Ardgour hills. Terrain is typical of this coastal region, with rough grassland and scattered woodland lower down giving way to open hillside.

• •The name Meall a' Bhrodainn comes from Scottish Gaelic, with 'meall' meaning a rounded hill or lump, though the specific meaning of 'brodainn' remains uncertain – it may relate to a personal name or local feature now lost to history.
• •At 530 metres, this hill falls just short of the 610-metre threshold for Corbett status, placing it among the quieter hills of Lochaber that see far fewer visitors than their loftier neighbours.
• •The summit grid reference places it in relatively remote country west of Glen Tarbert, an area more often viewed from passing boats on Loch Linnhe than explored on foot.
