Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name Meall Daimh derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'Hill of the Stag', reflecting the area's historical importance as deer hunting territory in the Glen Lyon estates.
  • The hill sits within Glen Daimh, itself a tributary glen feeding into Glen Lyon, one of Scotland's longest and most historically significant glens, stretching nearly 50 kilometres from Loch Lyon to Fortingall.
  • Despite its modest height, Meall Daimh earns both Dodd and Tump classifications, the latter requiring 30 metres of prominence on all sides—a mark of genuine topographic distinctiveness rather than mere bulk.
