Not to be confused with one of the several other Meall Garbhs in the vicinity, this mountain lies in the north eastern end of the Ben Lawers range and has Meall Greigh and An Stuc as its immediate neighbours. Thanks to its impressive collection of mountainous friends, you can easily bag multiple summits in one adventure, extending or shortening your day as you please.

Tips

Meall Garbh is a 3,668-foot (1,118 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. It's one of the Munros that sits close to Ben Lawers, the chief of the range, and they're often climbed together. The passage from Meall Garbh to An Stùc involves some basic scrambling over loose ground.

Another Munro on the ridge for Ben Lawers. Best starting at the Ben Lawers car park and walking the ridge to do all 5 Munros. Finish at the hotel on the main road.
