Mountain Description
Meall nan Aighean is broad hill with twin summits, the NE top being 7m higher. It has three ridges, a W ridge with gentle slopes down to Inverar, a broad craggy S ridge and a long E ridge leading to Beinn Dearg, overlooking Fortingall. To the S and W, the terrain is generally easy to moderate grass slopes with scattered rock outcrops, but the E ridge is steep and craggy on its N flank overlooking the higher reaches of Gleann Muilinn and on its S flank (Creag Mhor), and should be avoided.

Q. This seems formerly to have been known as Creag Mhor, which confused me considerably. A. Yes, previous maps were wrong, Greag Mhor lies 2Km ESE. Munromagic
