Torr Mor

A modest summit rising to 502 metres in the Monadh Liath, east of Glen Albyn. The hill earns its Dodd and Tump classifications without fanfare, offering a quieter alternative to the better-known heights further into the range. Typical terrain for this area of rolling moorland and scattered forestry.

• •The name Torr Mor derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'big hill' or 'large rounded hill' – torr referring to a prominent rounded summit or hillock, and mòr meaning big, a straightforward descriptor that nonetheless distinguishes it from smaller neighbouring tops.
• •The hill sits within the Monadh Liath range, a name itself meaning 'grey mountains' in Gaelic, referring to the lighter-coloured grasses and sedges that dominate these rounded, less dramatic hills compared to the darker heather of neighbouring ranges.
• •At 502 metres, Torr Mor falls just short of the 610-metre threshold required for Corbett status, placing it among Scotland's middle-tier hills that often see fewer boots than their loftier neighbours.
