Meall an Stalcair

Rising to 512 metres in the Central Highlands, this Dodd occupies quiet ground in the hills north of Loch Lubnaig. The summit lies in forested terrain typical of this part of Perthshire, with modest prominence that makes it more of a walkers' objective than a commanding viewpoint. Access involves navigating plantation tracks and rougher moorland sections.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Meall an Stalcair', meaning 'hill of the hunter' or 'hill of the stalker', likely referring to the deer stalking that has long taken place across these uplands.
• •As a Dodd, it qualifies for the list of Scottish hills between 2,000 and 2,999 feet compiled by Clem Clements and others, representing a tier of Corbett-height summits often overlooked by Munro-baggers.
• •The hill sits within extensive commercial forestry that has transformed much of this landscape since the mid-20th century, making route-finding more dependent on the current state of harvesting and replanting cycles than on any traditional path.
