Meall Breac South Top

A 534-metre Dodd rising above the eastern shore of Loch Fyne in Argyll, this grassy summit sits between Strachur and Inveraray. The South Top designation suggests a subsidiary peak, part of a broader ridge system common to this area of wooded hills and scattered farmland overlooking Scotland's longest sea loch.

• •The name combines the Gaelic 'meall' meaning rounded hill with 'breac' meaning speckled or dappled, likely describing the patchy appearance of vegetation, rock, or heather across its slopes.
• •Its grid reference places it in the Cowal peninsula, a landscape shaped by ancient glaciation where sea lochs penetrate deep into the hills, creating the distinctive 'drowned valley' topography of Argyll's coastline.
• •As a South Top, this summit is part of a multi-topped ridge system, a common arrangement in Scottish hills where glacial erosion has carved several high points along a single massif.
