Meall nan Cleireach

Rising to 535 metres above Glen Kinglass in the western Highlands, this modest summit offers a quiet alternative to the nearby Munros. The terrain is typical highland moorland with rough grasses and scattered rock outcrops. The hill's relative obscurity ensures solitude, though navigation demands attention in poor visibility across featureless upper slopes.

• •The name Meall nan Cleireach comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'hill of the clerks' or 'hill of the clerics', though the specific origin of this ecclesiastical reference in such a remote location remains unclear.
• •The hill sits in the shadow of the Cruachan massif to the south, making it a natural approach or descent point for those tackling the longer ridge routes in the area.
• •At 535 metres, it falls well short of Munro status, but qualifies as both a Dodd and a Tump, classifications that celebrate Scotland's more modest but characterful summits.
