Tomnabhal

Standing at 552 metres on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, this remote Dodd occupies wild, exposed terrain characteristic of the island's interior. The ascent crosses rough moorland and peat, with the summit offering expansive views across the loch-scattered landscape towards the Atlantic coast and neighbouring island peaks.

• •The name Tomnabhal derives from Gaelic 'Tom na Bhaile', meaning 'knoll of the township' or 'settlement mound', suggesting the hill once marked the edge of cultivated ground or served as a landmark for a now-vanished community.
• •The grid reference NB165078 places this summit firmly in Lewis's boggy interior, where navigation across featureless peat moorland and countless lochans demands solid map-reading skills even in good weather.
• •As one of Scotland's remoter Dodds—hills between 500 and 599 metres—Tomnabhal sees far fewer visitors than its mainland counterparts, offering genuine solitude for those willing to tackle the approach across waterlogged ground.
