Meall Lochan Mhic Gille Dhuibh

Rising to 585 metres in the West Highlands, this Dodd occupies rough ground north of Loch Linnhe. The Gaelic name translates to 'hill of the loch of the son of the dark-haired lad', suggesting a small lochan once figured prominently in local geography. Remote and infrequently visited, it offers a quiet ascent through typical Highland terrain.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Meall' (rounded hill), 'Lochan' (small loch), 'Mhic' (son of), 'Gille' (lad or servant), and 'Dhuibh' (dark or black-haired), indicating a small loch associated with a dark-haired youth's family, though the specific individual is lost to history.
• •As a Dodd, it ranks among Scotland's hills between 500 and 599 metres, a classification devised by Alan Dawson for mountains that are often overlooked in favour of their higher Corbett and Munro neighbours.
