Stuchd an Lochain

Stuchd an Lochain (Scottish Gaelic: Stùc an Lochain, 'peak of the little lake') is a mountain in the Breadalbane region of the southern Scottish Highlands. It is a Munro, with a height of 960 metres (3,150 ft). It lies at the western end of Glen Lyon and forms the southern side of Loch an Daimh. The summit sits above a large corrie that contains a small lake called Lochan na Cat. The primary route to the summit leaves from the eastern end of Loch an Daimh and climbs the ridge to the top of Sron Chona Choirein. From here the ridge turns roughly north for a short distance before turning north-west to the summit. Fit walkers can continue west for a circular walk around the loch taking in a Corbett, Sròn a' Choire Chnapanich, and another Munro, Meall Buidhe.

Pubil

Pubil is a hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies to the north of the River Lyon in Glen Lyon, about 1 km (0.62 mi) east of Lubreoch dam which raises the level of Loch Lyon as part of the Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme. It is made up of Pubil House and eight cottages, which were built by the Hydro Board to recompense the Megernie estate for the flooding of a large area when the hydro scheme was developed. On October 2025 it was the epicentre of an earthquake of magnitude 3.6, which was followed by a series of smaller quakes. The British Geological Survey's Earthquake Information shows that in the 60 days from 22 October to 19 December there were a further 16 earthquakes centred on Pubil, out of a total of 60 earthquakes in and around the United Kingdom. Angus Macanleister, 7th chief of the Clan Fletcher, lived at Pubil in 1700. Pubil can be used as a starting point for walks including the ascent of the nearby 796 m (2,612 ft) Meall Phubaill (not to be confused with the 774 m (2,539 ft) Meall a' Phubuill northwest of Fort William). In 2007 competitors in the Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon overnighted at a temporary campsite at Pubil.
