Glas Mheall Mor

Sitting prominently on the eastern edge of the Fannichs, this high Munro Top forms a rugged shoulder between An Coileachan and Meall Gorm. Its rocky, wind-swept plateau offers a wild perspective across the Loch Fannich forest towards the Beinn Dearg massif, providing a true sense of the range's remote scale.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Glas Mheall Mòr', which translates as 'Great Grey Hill', a reference to the weathered stone and scree that characterises its upper slopes.
• •It is typically visited as part of the 'Big Fannichs' traverse, situated on the high-level ridge that connects the eastern peaks of the range above the deep trough of Loch Fannich.
• •The summit cairn offers an exceptional, earned view across the Dirrie More to the sprawling wilderness of the Dundonnell Forest and the jagged skyline of the Fisherfield Forest peaks.
• •At 979 metres, it is significantly higher than many official Munros, yet it remains a 'Top' due to the shallow col separating it from its parent peak, An Coileachan—a distinction that feels entirely academic when you are battling the wind on its exposed plateau.
