The Sow of Atholl (Meall an Dobharchain)

The Sow of Atholl (Meall an Dobharchain) is a 798m (2621ft) Corbett in Perth and Kinross, in the Central Highlands region of Scotland. As a Corbett — a Scottish hill between 2,500 and 3,000 feet with at least 500 feet of re-ascent on all sides — it offers a serious hill day without the crowds that the higher Munros attract.
