Mountain Description
From the gently rounded summit, a ridge runs N to the steep and craggy Meall Garbh. To the E of Meall Garbh a path from Bridge of Gaur in Glen Rannoch gives a possible but long access route. The ridge S from the summit turns SSE to a minor top (917m) then E to Meall a' Phuill (878m). The normal ascent route is from road by the dam at Loch an Daimh to Meall a' Phuill on easy slopes.

This is a great hill for beginners, with a fairly high starting point. Would reccommend the ascent of Stuchd an Lochain to complete a day's walking.
