Meall Crubenmore

Standing above Glen Loy in the Lochaber hills, this 515-metre Dodd offers a modest ascent through forestry and open hillside east of Fort William. The summit provides a useful vantage point over the Great Glen, though the terrain lacks the drama of neighbouring ridges. A quiet hill more often climbed by completists than casual walkers.

• •The name Meall Crubenmore derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'meall' meaning a rounded or lumpy hill, and 'cruban' referring to something crouched or hunkered down – an apt description of its modest, unassuming profile when viewed from the surrounding glens.
• •At 515 metres, this hill sits just above the 500-metre threshold for Dodd classification, making it one of the lower summits on many peak-baggers' lists in an area otherwise dominated by much higher Munros and Corbetts.
• •The summit lies within sight of Ben Nevis to the southwest, though the view serves mainly as a reminder of how much higher the neighbouring giants stand.
