Meall Garbh Summit Cairn

Recommended for

Hiking

by 13 explorers

Meall Garbh translates as ‘rough hill’, a suitably generic name and something that might explain the abundance of so-named mountains. Unfortunately for the easily-confused, there are three peaks under this name a stone’s throw from each other around Glen Lyon. This Meall Garbh lies to the north of the glen and it’s twin-topped, rising to 3,176 feet (968 m) and 3,159 feet (963 m).

    Hiking

    Meall Garbh is a 3,176-foot (968 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. It's part of a wonderful circular route of four Munros above Glen Lyon. It's not to be confused with the Meall Garbh that forms part of the nearby Ben Lawers range. Meall Garbh translates to 'Rough Hill', so it's a common name used to describe a mountain.

    Hiking

    Old fence posts litter the summit cairn. Careful navigation from here is needed in poor visibility when walking the 4 Munros of Glen Lyon. When going clockwise, the route to the next Munro is directly east.
