About Stob an Uillt-fhearna

Did You Know?
- •Derived from the Gaelic for 'Peak of the stream of the alder tree,' the name identifies the hill by the specific vegetation and watercourses draining its lower flanks.
- •The summit provides a clear vantage point over the remote Loch Monar reservoir to the north and the massive, high ridge of An Riabhachan to the south.
- •It remains a remarkably effective place to avoid people, as most walkers in the area are too busy staring at their Munro lists to notice this Tump exists.
