Tops of Fichell

A forested summit in the eastern Highlands, rising to 578 metres on the southern edge of Glen Isla. The name likely derives from Scots 'fichtell', referring to the puzzling or intricate nature of the terrain. Classified as both a Dodd and a Tump, this hill offers a quiet objective away from more popular ranges to the north and west.

• •The name 'Fichell' likely comes from the Scots word meaning 'puzzle' or 'riddle', perhaps describing the confusing nature of the wooded slopes or the difficulty of finding a clear route to the summit.
• •At 578 metres, this hill sits just below the 2000-foot contour that often separates well-trodden summits from quieter, overlooked tops in the Scottish Highlands.
