Dun Mor

Sitting in the remote heart of the Atholl Forest near Tirinie, this 690m Hump offers a quiet alternative to the busier Munros of the Beinn a’ Ghlo massif. It is a rounded, heather-clad summit providing a sense of isolation and expansive views across the upper reaches of Glen Tilt.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic Dùn Mòr, meaning 'Big Fort' or 'Big Hill', likely referring here to its bulky, rounded presence in an otherwise empty landscape rather than a man-made structure.
• •Located in the wild Fealar Forest area, the summit offers a commanding view across the glen to the massive granite shoulders and scree slopes of the Beinn a' Ghlo range, specifically the peak of Càrn nan Gabhar.
• •It is often bypassed by hillwalkers following the long track to Fealar Lodge, ensuring a level of solitude rarely found on the nearby more famous peaks.
• •Though its name suggests a 'Big Fort,' the only things you are likely to find guarding the summit are a few weather-beaten grouse and an impressive amount of peat hags.
