Meall nan Ruaig

Rising to 579 metres above Glen Dochart in the Southern Highlands, this grassy summit occupies wooded ground north of Loch Lubnaig. The name derives from Gaelic 'Meall nan Ruaig', meaning 'hill of the shieling runs' or 'hill of the chases', reflecting either seasonal cattle grazing or hunting use in centuries past.

• •The name 'Meall nan Ruaig' comes from Scottish Gaelic, where 'meall' means a rounded hill and 'ruaig' can mean either a shieling run (summer grazing ground for cattle) or a chase or pursuit, likely referring to deer hunting across these slopes.
• •The hill sits in forestry plantation country between Callander and Lochearnhead, sharing the forested landscape with neighbouring Corbett Meall an t-Seallaidh to the northwest.
• •As a Dodd, it qualifies among Scotland's hills between 500 and 2000 feet with sufficient separation from higher neighbours, a classification created by hillwalkers Fiona Torbet and Anne Butler in the 1990s.
