Hill of the herdsman
Meall a' Bhuachaille, meaning "Hill of the Herdsman," is a modest hill in the Scottish Highlands, typically ranging between 400 and 500 meters in elevation. Its name reflects the area's historical pastoral use, and it may feature typical Highland geology of ancient Lewisian gneiss or Cambrian sandstone. The hill matters locally as a landmark within a landscape rich in Gaelic cultural and linguistic heritage.
