Meall Reamhar

Overlooking the quiet waters of Loch Voil from the north, this rounded summit offers a classic Southern Highlands experience. Rising above the Braes of Balquhidder, its steep, heathery slopes lead to a broad, grassy crest. It provides a more intimate perspective of the surrounding Corbetts than its higher neighbours.

• •The name Meall Reamhar translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Fat Hill' or 'Stout Hill', a common descriptor for broad, bulky landmasses that lack a sharp or distinctive peak.
• •The hill sits within the historic territory of the MacGregor clan; the village of Balquhidder at its southern foot contains the grave of the famous outlaw and folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor.
• •The summit provides a focused view south across the glens of Loch Voil and Loch Doine, framed by the steep northern faces of Stob a' Choin and An Stùc.
• •True to its name, the hill's broad profile ensures that any attempt at a direct shortcut on the descent usually results in an unintended tour of the local peat hags.
