An Socach (Glen Ey)

An Socach is a Scottish mountain situated some three miles (5 km) west of the A93 road from Perth to Braemar.

The name may derive from the Gaelic Soc, meaning the snout or beak, leading to the projecting place by analogy with the shape of a snout.

Other sources state that it in fact means 'the sow'.

The hill has an elongated, round form, and the Munro bagger is advised that the highest top is in fact at its western end and is not the 938 m (3,077 ft) eastern summit as shown on certain OS maps.

The hill may be climbed from Glen Ey to the north or from the top of the Glenshee Ski Centre to the east.
