About Sidhean Coire an Dubh-chadha

Perched in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs region, this 567-metre summit takes its name from the Gaelic for 'small hill of the corrie of the dark one'. A modest Dodd and Tump, it occupies terrain above Glen Falloch, offering a quieter outing away from the busier Munros to the north and west.

Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Gaelic 'sìdhean' (small hill or fairy mound), 'coire' (corrie), 'dubh' (dark or black), and 'chadha' (a pass or steep path), likely referring to a dark-coloured corrie or shadowed pass on the hillside.
  • Though classified as a Dodd—hills between 2000 and 2499 feet with at least 50 feet of prominence—this summit falls just short of that height threshold at 1860 feet, making its inclusion noteworthy for those ticking off marginal classifications.
  • The hill sits in terrain frequently overshadowed by the nearby Munros and Corbetts of the Southern Highlands, meaning it sees far fewer boots than its more celebrated neighbours.
