Stob an t-Suidhe

Rising to 563 metres on the southern flank of Ben Lomond, this modest Dodd serves as the most popular viewpoint on the ascent from Rowardennan. The broad, grassy shoulder offers a natural pause before the steeper climb ahead, with sweeping views across Loch Lomond's island-studded southern reach and the Arrochar Alps beyond.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'peak of the seat' or 'hill of sitting', aptly describing its role as a natural resting place where walkers traditionally pause to catch their breath and admire the view before tackling Ben Lomond's upper slopes.
• •Though modest in height, this hill marks the point where the Ben Lomond tourist path transitions from wooded lower slopes to open hillside, with the gradient steepening noticeably above.
• •The summit provides one of the finest prospects of Loch Lomond's southern islands, with Inchmurrin, Inchcailloch, and Torrinch clearly visible below, along with the distinctive pyramid of Ben Vorlich rising across the water.
• •Many walkers inadvertently summit this Dodd without realising it qualifies as a classified hill in its own right, being so focused on the larger prize of Ben Lomond above.
