Sgurr Shalachain

Rising to 538 metres above Loch Linnhe's eastern shore in the West Highlands, this Dodd occupies a remote, knobbly ridge between Glen Scaddle and Glen Gour. The ascent involves rough ground and navigation through broken terrain, with the summit offering views across to the hills of Ardgour and Morvern. A hill for those seeking solitude rather than well-trodden paths.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'sgurr' meaning peak or rocky summit, combined with 'shalachain', though the precise meaning of the second element remains uncertain—it may relate to 'sàilean' (little heel) or refer to a personal name now lost to time.
• •At 538 metres, this summit qualifies as a Dodd—a classification for hills between 500 and 600 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence—placing it in that curious middle ground too high to dismiss, too low to draw crowds.
