Meall a' Chapuill

Rising to 514 metres in the country between Loch Lomond and Strathyre, this modest Dodd offers a quiet ascent through terrain typical of the southern Highlands. The hill's rolling, grassy character makes for straightforward navigation, though its classification reflects summit isolation rather than dramatic topography. Views extend across the wooded glens and lochs of this transitional landscape.

• •The name Meall a' Chapuill derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'meall' meaning a rounded or lumpy hill, and 'chapuill' likely referring to a horse or mare, suggesting this was terrain associated with grazing or herding livestock in the past.
• •At 513.8 metres, the summit sits just above the 500-metre threshold that defines a Dodd, requiring both sufficient height and topographic prominence to qualify for this classification.
• •The hill occupies a transitional zone where the dramatic peaks of the western Highlands give way to the gentler, more wooded terrain characteristic of the Trossachs and Loch Lomond areas.
