The Sow of Atholl
The Sow of Atholl (also known as Meall an Dobharchain) is a Scottish hill which is situated 27 kilometres WNW of the town of Blair Atholl in Perth and Kinross council area. It stands on the western side of the Pass of Drumochter in a group of hills which lie around Coire Dhomhain.
==Overview==
The Sow is a steep conical hill which reaches a height of 803 metres (2634 feet); it qualifies as a Corbett and a Marilyn. It throws down its least precipitous slopes to the SE in a broad ridge to Dalnaspidal Lodge from where the hill is often climbed. It stands immediately next to the A9 and the Highland Main Line as they pass the highest point of the Drumochter Pass and the hill is well seen from the road and railway. The hill's strange Anglicised name is believed to be a "more recent and fanciful name",〔''"Climbing The Corbetts"'', Hamish Brown, ISBN 1-898573-08-5 Page 128 Gives the quote "a more recent fanciful name" and some details of biology.〕 a response to match the hill known as the Boar of Badenoch which lies 2.5 km to the north. Its more ancient and correct name is Meall an Dobharchain which translates from the Scottish Gaelic as Watercress Hill and this refers to the marshy ground on the lower SE flanks of the hill where watercress would have grown in the past.〔''"The Call Of The Corbetts"'', Irvine Butterfield, ISBN 0-7153-2754-2 Page 128 Gives details of name translation and meaning.〕 Although Watercress Hill is the accepted translation today, in 1854 ''The New Statistical Account Of Scotland'' referred to the hill as Carnan Dóbhrain〔''"The New Statistical Account Of Scotland"'' (Google Books) Page 564 Refers to hill as Carnan Dóbhrain.〕 which can be translated as Small Cairn of the Otters.〔(McFarlane‘s Gaelic-English Dictionary. ) Give translation of Carnan Dóbhrain.〕
