Meall Daimh

Rising to 575 metres above Glen Daimh in the southern Highlands, this modest summit offers a quieter alternative to the higher Corbetts nearby. The ascent involves typical Highland terrain of grass and heather, with the summit cairn marking a viewpoint over the long ribbon of Glen Lyon and its surrounding ridges.

• •The name Meall Daimh derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'hill of the stag', reflecting the deer populations that have roamed these glens for centuries.
• •The hill sits in Glen Daimh, itself a side glen branching south from the much longer Glen Lyon, reputedly the longest enclosed glen in Scotland at over 30 miles.
• •At 575 metres, Meall Daimh falls well short of Corbett status but qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, classifications based on relative height and prominence rather than absolute elevation.
