Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Meall Fèith Dhiongaig; 'Meall' denotes a rounded hill, while 'Fèith' refers to the slow-moving, boggy streams that lace the surrounding peat moorland.
- •From this vantage point, walkers look out across the remote Strathdearn valley toward the higher Monadhliath plateau, including the prominent neighbouring bulk of Carn na h-Easgainn.
- •The area is a managed grouse moor, and the ascent is frequently accompanied by the startled calls of red grouse or the sight of mountain hares in their seasonal coats.
- •In this part of the Highlands, a 'Top' is often less of a mountain peak and more of a localized high point in a landscape designed primarily to test the integrity of your gaiters.
