Sron nan Colan

Rising to 590 metres above the northwestern shore of Loch Lomond, this Dodd sits within the national park boundaries where Stirlingshire meets Perthshire. The ascent involves trackless terrain through forestry and rough ground, offering a quiet alternative to the busier peaks further west. Summit views extend across Loch Lomond to the Arrochar Alps.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'sròn nan colann', meaning 'nose of the bodies' or 'ridge of the corpses', though the specific historical event behind this grim nomenclature has been lost to time.
• •The hill stands at the northern extremity of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, marking the transition between the gentler landscapes to the south and the higher peaks of the Central Highlands.
• •While rarely climbed in isolation, Sron nan Colan is sometimes combined with the higher Beinn Chùirn to the north, though the intervening ground requires negotiating rough moorland and forestry plantations.
