Meall Gobhlach

Standing above Loch Lubnaig in the Trossachs, this modest Dodd offers a straightforward ascent through mixed woodland and rough pasture. The summit, though unremarkable in itself, delivers expansive views across the southern Highlands including Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin to the north-west, with Loch Earn visible beyond.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Meall Gobhlach', meaning 'forked lump' or 'hill of the fork', likely describing the summit's characteristic split or cleft when viewed from certain angles in the glen below.
• •Though only 582 metres high, this hill sits at the meeting point between the gentler Lowland landscapes to the south and the dramatic Highland peaks beginning just beyond Loch Earn.
• •The hill is often climbed in combination with nearby Beinn Each, forming a longer horseshoe route above Loch Lubnaig favoured by walkers seeking varied terrain without committing to a full Munro day.
