Meall na Caillich South Top

A modest subsidiary summit rising to 557 metres in the Western Highlands, situated south of Loch Carron. The Gaelic name translates as 'hill of the old woman', with 'South Top' indicating its position relative to a higher neighbour. Classified as both a Dodd and a Tump, this grassy summit offers a quiet alternative to busier peaks in the region.

• •The name 'Meall na Caillich' derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'hill of the old woman' or 'hill of the hag' – a common name in the Highlands often associated with local folklore about supernatural beings or the personification of winter itself as the Cailleach.
• •The 'South Top' designation indicates this is a secondary summit to a higher Meall na Caillich nearby, a naming convention used throughout Scottish hills to distinguish multiple peaks sharing the same mountain name.
• •As a Dodd (a hill between 500 and 600 metres) and a Tump (a hill with at least 30 metres of prominence), this summit sits in that overlooked middle ground – too low for Munro baggers, but offering satisfying elevation for those who value quieter fells.
