Am Bodach Terrain Block

Am Bodach is a key peak in the Mamores range, its name meaning 'The Old Man'. It forms a classic, sharp-peaked silhouette visible from Kinlochleven. The ascent involves steep, rocky scrambling, particularly traversing the ridge towards the Devil's Ridge and Sgurr a' Mhaim. It is a mountain of great character, offering exhilarating ridge walking in the heart of Lochaber, with views that stretch to the Nevis range.

About Am Bodach

'The Old Man' is a common counterpart to 'The Old Woman' (A' Chailleach) in Gaelic topography. In folklore, the Bodach was sometimes a trickster spirit or a harvest figure. Here it presides over the central Mamores with stony dignity, a classic landmark for the people of Kinlochleven.
