Meall Liath na Doire

A modest Dodd rising to 588 metres in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, positioned between Glen Dochart and Glen Lochay. The hill forms part of the undulating terrain north of Crianlarich, offering straightforward walking on grassy slopes. Its summit provides a useful vantage point over the surrounding glen systems and higher peaks of the Ben More range to the south.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'grey hill of the thicket' – 'meall' (rounded hill), 'liath' (grey), and 'doire' (thicket or grove) – likely referring to the once-wooded lower slopes characteristic of this area before extensive clearance.
• •Though modest in stature, the hill occupies a strategic position for hillwalkers linking routes between the popular Munros of Ben More and Beinn Challuim, often serving as a connecting ridge during longer traverses.
• •The grey colour referenced in its name becomes particularly apt in changeable Highland weather, when mist clings to the grassy slopes and lichen-covered rock outcrops take on distinctly silvery hues.
