Bodach Beag

Occupying a central position on the high eastern ridge of the Fannichs, this rugged peak sits between the Munros of An Coileachan and Meall Gorm. It offers a stony, windswept character typical of the North West Highlands, providing an excellent vantage point over the remote expanse of the Loch Fannich forest.

• •The name is Gaelic for 'Little Old Man,' a common trope in Highland naming conventions where hills are personified; it stands as a smaller companion to Bodach Mòr located further west along the same range.
• •The summit provides a clear, un-interrupted view south across the full length of Loch Fannich, with the jagged skyline of the Torridon hills often visible on the far horizon.
• •Hillwalkers usually encounter this summit while traversing the high-level plateau connecting the eastern group of Fannich peaks, a route known for its vast, exposed terrain and lack of easy escape points.
• •Labelled as 'Little' only in comparison to its immediate neighbours, the hill still requires more effort to reach than most people's definition of a casual stroll.
