Meall nan Tarmachan, the Hill of the Ptarmigan, is the highest peak and only Munro on the Tarmachan Ridge. At 3,422 feet (1,044 m), it's not as high as nearby Ben Lawers but many hillwalkers prefer it for its rough, rocky and entertaining terrain. It's also very easily accessed from the high car park to the east.

One of the easier Munros due to the high start. This is still a great peak either on it's own or as the start of the Tarmachan Ridge. The summit is at 1044m.

An easy ascent from the Ben Lawers car park, and a great view.
