Meall Lochan Mam na Ceire

Rising to 523 metres in the western Highlands, this obscure Dodd occupies rough terrain between Loch Linnhe and Glen Tarbert. The Gaelic name translates as 'hill of the small loch of the pass of the rounded hill', reflecting the typically descriptive nature of Highland place names. Its modest height belies genuinely remote character.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'meall' (rounded hill), 'lochan' (small loch), 'mam' (pass or rounded hill), and 'ceire' (possibly from 'ciar', meaning dark or dusky), creating one of the longer and more geographically descriptive hill names in the region.
• •As a Dodd, this summit qualifies as one of the hills in the Database of British and Irish Hills between 500 and 600 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence, a classification that captures many of Scotland's lesser-visited tops.
