- •The name stems from the Gaelic 'Leachdann', meaning a sloping hillside, and 'Feith', referring to a slow-moving, often boggy stream. 'Seasgachain' likely refers to 'seasg', meaning dry or barren, describing the upland character of the surrounding moorland.
- •Positioned deep within the estate lands north of Glen Tilt, this summit is typically accessed via a long, taxing approach from Blair Atholl or the Falls of Tarff.
- •The summit offers a commanding perspective over the desolate interior of the Atholl Forest, with a clear line of sight to the massive granite plateau of the Cairngorms and the triple-peaked massif of Beinn a' Ghlò.
- •Given the name refers to boggy watercourses, hikers should expect to spend as much time navigating around black peat as they do walking on solid ground.
