Mountain Description
|
|
|
Farragon Hill and Meall Tairneachan (Corbett) are neighbouring Corbetts to the S of Loch Tummel and are usually climbed together. Farragon Hill has a compact rocky summit at the intersection of four short ridges, NW, NE, SE, SW in the shape of a cross. The summit is very craggy, but there is a route through the crags on the SW side. Access to Farragon Hill is normally from a hill track across Meall Tairneachan which comes within 1.5km of the summit. However a track from Netherton on Loch Tummel to Edradynate near Aberfeldy passes within 850m of the summit and offers alternative routes

Meall Tairneachan and Farragon Hill
|
A long route mostly on hill track across rolling hills. Could be made shorter if a second vehicle could be left at Edradynate (SE of Farragon Hill).

An enjoyable and pleasant Corbett ascent, very similar in nature to that of nearby Ben Vrackie. The approach track from the south could not be more straightforward & the final couple of hundred metres to the top are steep enough to get your blood pumping but over soon enough. Terrific views too, including an interesting perspective upon the mine workings below nearby Meall Tairneachan's summit. Save for a clear half-day. CAUTION: At gridref: NN 855 550 there's a warning sign where a red-flag will be fluttering if there's stalking about - prior checks will save a 3 mile trudge home.
