Meall an Leathaid

A modest Dodd rising to 579 metres in the northern Highlands, occupying a position in the hills north of Glen Affric. The summit offers a quiet vantage point over the surrounding glens and forested lower slopes, characteristic of this quieter corner of the Scottish uplands where smaller hills often escape the crowds drawn to their loftier neighbours.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Meall an Leathaid', meaning 'hill of the slope' or 'hill of the hillside', a self-referential description that likely distinguished this particular slope from the surrounding terrain in a landscape of continuous ridges.
• •Classified as both a Dodd and a Tump, this hill qualifies for lists based on its modest prominence rather than absolute height, placing it in the company of Scotland's less-visited summits where solitude is more easily found than on Munro rounds.
