About Meall Coire nan Capull East Top

A modest subsidiary summit in the rugged hills east of Loch Linnhe, this 524-metre top sits within the broader Meall Coire nan Capull massif. Classified as both a Dodd and a Tump, it offers straightforward grass and heather terrain typical of the west Highlands, though its status as an 'East Top' suggests it's often overshadowed by its higher neighbour.

Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'Meall Coire nan Capull' translating to 'hill of the corrie of the horses', likely referring to a time when ponies or hill horses grazed or sheltered in the corrie below the summit.
  • As an 'East Top', this summit is a subsidiary peak of the main Meall Coire nan Capull, distinguished in hillwalking lists by its separate classification status despite lacking the prominence to be a Marilyn.
  • The hill's Dodd classification places it among Scotland's 2,000-2,999 foot summits, a category originated by Rob Woodall to catalogue mountains between the older Corbett and Graham lists.
