Meall nan Eagan NW Top

A subsidiary top on the northwestern shoulder of Meall nan Eagan, rising to 584 metres above Glen Lochay in the southern Highlands. Classified as a Dodd and Tump, this grassy summit offers a quiet alternative to better-known peaks, typically climbed as part of a ridge walk from the main summit or neighbouring tops in this rolling landscape.

• •The name Meall nan Eagan derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'meall' meaning a rounded hill or lump, and 'eagan' most likely referring to small notches or crevices, describing the character of the parent mountain's terrain.
• •As a northwest top, this summit sits some distance from the main Meall nan Eagan peak, making it a distinct objective for Dodd collectors who pursue all hills over 2,000 feet in the Scottish Highlands.
• •The hill's position above Glen Lochay places it among a cluster of lesser-known grassy tops that contrast sharply with the more dramatic, rocky mountains further north in the Ben Lawers range.
