Stob Odhar
The walk is challenging and takes in three Tumps and a Marilyn – great hill baggers terms - Tumps being tops with a 30m drop all round and Marilyns having a 150m drop all round. Stob Odhar, the highest at 562m, is a Marilyn, Tump and even a Dodd and Highland 5! Stob Odhar - the dun-coloured stump – has a profile resembling a mini table top mountain when viewed from the north. The two Tumps to make it a trio are Cnoc a’ Bharaille and An Gobhlach.
