    Meall na Teanga is situated on the northern side of Loch Lochy and is closely associated with the adjacent Munro of Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh which lies two kilometres to the north across the Cam Bealach ("crooked pass"). The two mountains are usually ascended together. Meall na Teanga is seen prominently from the A82 road on the opposite bank of Loch Lochy, showing steep slopes which have the conifer plantations of the South Laggan Forest below the 300 metre contour.

    The hill just qualifies as a Munro by four metres, reaching a height of 918 m (3,012 ft). In the original 1891 version of Munro's Tables, Meall na Teanga was listed as a subsidiary "Top" of Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh. It was promoted to Munro status when the tables were updated in 1921, despite continuing doubts as to whether it had sufficient height. The hill's name translates from the Gaelic as "Hill of the Tongue". This refers to one of the hill's ridges: either the long tongue-like western ridge which curves round two fine corries, or the steep buttressing spur which rises from the loch to the summit.[4] The hill is sometimes referred to in the anglified form of "Tango"

      First quite boggy on the way up from the saddle and then very steep with scree. Looks worth than it is though and the climb is worth it considering the views over to Ben Nevis and Fort Williams.
