Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Meall a' Chuit', meaning 'hill of the pit' or 'hill of the hollow', likely referring to a natural depression or corrie on its slopes.
  • The hill's grid reference places it within the Breadalbane region, historically part of the lands controlled by the Campbell Earls of Breadalbane whose influence shaped much of Highland Perthshire's settlement patterns.
  • As a Dodd, it ranks among Scotland's hills between 500 and 599 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence – a classification system developed by hill-listers to recognise modest but distinctly separate summits.
