Seann Chruach

Rising to 521 metres in the western Highlands, this Dodd occupies rugged terrain north of Loch Linnhe. The Gaelic name translates as 'old stack' or 'old pile', likely referring to ancient cairns or the hill's weathered, stacked appearance when viewed from certain angles. A quiet summit rarely troubled by crowds.

• •The name 'Seann Chruach' derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'old stack' or 'old heap' – 'seann' meaning old or ancient, and 'cruach' referring to a pile, stack, or conical hill, suggesting either ancient summit cairns or the hill's own stacked, layered appearance.
• •At 521 metres, it qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, placing it among Scotland's smaller classified hills that reward walkers seeking quieter summits away from the Munro crowds.
• •The grid reference places it in the rough country between Glen Tarbert and Loch Linnhe, part of the complex, deeply indented landscape of Morvern and Ardgour where sea lochs penetrate far inland among steep-sided hills.
