Meallan Buidhe an Fheadain

A Dodd situated in the remote country north of Glen Affric in the Northwest Highlands, this 598-metre summit occupies rough, tussocky terrain characteristic of the region. The hill overlooks Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin to the east and forms part of the less-visited uplands between the better-known Munros to the south and the wild country stretching northward toward Glen Strathfarrar.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'Meallan' meaning a rounded hill or lump, 'Buidhe' translating as yellow, and 'Fheadain' referring to a little stream or watercourse, together describing a yellow rounded hill by the small burn.
• •Though modest in absolute height at 598 metres, the hill sits in genuinely remote territory with minimal path infrastructure, offering an authentic sense of wilderness less than 15 miles from Glen Affric's more frequented stalking paths.
• •The summit provides views eastward to Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin and the parallel ridges that characterise this little-visited sector between Kintail and Strathfarrar, territory more familiar to deer than hillwalkers.
