Dun Rig

Dun Rig is a term primarily used in Scotland and refers to a high, rounded hill or mountain, often a moorland summit. The term derives from Gaelic. "Dun" signifies a fort or fortified place, and "Rig" denotes a ridge or summit. Thus, "Dun Rig" suggests a fortified ridge or hilltop. These formations are characteristic of the Scottish Highlands and can often feature the remnants of ancient hill forts or settlements on their summits. The name can also be used generically to describe similar landscape features even if specific historical fortifications are not evident. The altitude and prominence of a Dun Rig can vary, though they typically offer expansive views of the surrounding terrain.
