Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Gaelic 'meall' (rounded hill), 'coire' (corrie or hollow), and 'capull' (horses), indicating this was likely a summer grazing area where horses were pastured in the sheltered corrie.
  • The hill sits within sight of the Corran Narrows, where the shortest ferry crossing of Loch Linnhe has operated since at least medieval times, connecting the roads to Fort William and the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
