Meall Mor

Rising above the eastern side of Glen Falloch, this substantial Graham offers a quieter alternative to the nearby Crianlarich Munros. The ascent involves navigating steep, grassy slopes and occasional crags, rewarding walkers with a commanding perspective of Ben More and the rugged profile of An Caisteal across the glen.

• •The name is Gaelic, with Meall meaning a rounded hill or lump and Mòr meaning large; it is a descriptive title for its broad, bulky profile when viewed from the low ground of Strath Fillan.
• •The summit provides a celebrated grandstand view of the 'Crianlarich Munros,' particularly the massive pyramidal shapes of Ben More and Stob Binnein which dominate the northern horizon.
• •The usual approach from the north near Portnellan requires crossing the River Dochart and the West Highland Line railway before beginning a pathless, steady pull up the northern ridge.
• •Calling a 746-metre peak the 'Big Hill' is a classic piece of Gaelic optimism, especially when it sits in the shadow of several neighbouring mountains that are at least three hundred metres taller.
