About Meall Mor

Standing above the southern shore of Loch Tulla in the eastern Grampians, this modest Dodd offers a quiet viewpoint over one of Scotland's most scenic lochs. The flat-topped summit provides sweeping views across Rannoch Moor to the Black Mount peaks, with the Glen Coe hills visible beyond. Straightforward grassy slopes belie the wider drama of the landscape.

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from the Gaelic 'Meall Mòr', meaning simply 'big rounded hill' – a descriptive term applied to numerous Scottish summits of similar shape across the Highlands.
  • The summit provides clear views across Loch Tulla to Stob Ghabhar and the Black Mount, with the distinctive cone of Buachaille Etive Mor visible to the west beyond Glen Coe.
  • This hill sits on the edge of Rannoch Moor, one of Europe's last remaining wildernesses, a 50-square-mile expanse of blanket bog, lochans, and granite outcrops shaped by glaciation.
  • Walkers often combine this summit with nearby hills along the loch's southern shore, taking advantage of the old military road and stalkers' paths that thread through the area.
