Hill of the alders
Meall na Feàrna, meaning "Hill of the Alders," is a low, rounded hill likely under 300 meters in height, typical of the undulating topography of the Scottish Highlands. Its name reflects the presence of alder woodlands, which are common in moist, sheltered areas and indicate underlying peat or alluvial soils. The hill's name and setting highlight the close relationship between Gaelic-speaking communities and their local landscape.
