About Sron na Saobhaidhe

Rising to 543 metres in the remote country between Loch Vaich and the Moray Firth, this Dodd sits amid the heather-clad moors and scattered lochans of Easter Ross. The terrain is typical of this understated region: rough, boggy in places, and offering solitude far from the popular Munro routes to the west.

Did You Know?

  • The name Sron na Saobhaidhe comes from Scottish Gaelic, with 'sron' meaning 'nose' or 'promontory' and 'saobhaidhe' derived from 'saobh', meaning 'den' or possibly 'twist' – likely describing either a sheltered hollow on the hillside or the shape of the ridge itself.
  • This hill lies in one of Scotland's quieter walking areas, where the transition from the dramatic peaks of Wester Ross to the gentler moorlands rolling towards the Moray Firth creates landscapes that see few boots outside the stalking season.
