Sron Bheag

Rising to 516 metres in the southern Highlands, this Dodd and Tump occupies rugged terrain north of Loch Lomond. The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'little nose', likely describing the hill's profile when viewed from the glens below. Its modest height belies steep, pathless approaches through rough ground and scattered woodland.

• •The name 'Sron Bheag' derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'little nose' or 'small promontory', a common topographical description in the Highlands for a hill with a distinctive jutting profile when seen from particular vantage points in the surrounding valleys.
• •As a Dodd, this hill meets Graham Bowron's classification criteria requiring a prominence of at least 15 metres, distinguishing it as a distinct summit rather than merely a shoulder of a larger neighbour.
• •The grid reference places it in rough, trackless country typical of the southern Grampians, where navigation skills and sturdy boots matter more than the altimeter reading.
