About Stuc an Lochain
Stuchd an Lochain, listed here as Stuc an Lochain, rises above Loch an Daimh at the head of a side glen of Glen Lyon. It reaches 960m (3,150 ft) with 481m of prominence. Sron Chona Choirein lies 1.1 km to the east, and Meall Ghaordaidh, the nearest higher hill, is 6.0 km south-east.
