About Meall Mor
A modest grassy summit rising above Loch Lomond's eastern shore in the southern Highlands. At 528 metres, this Dodd offers a straightforward ascent through mixed woodland and open hillside, with the reward of commanding views across the loch to the Arrochar Alps and Ben Lomond's distinctive profile to the northwest.
