About Meall Voirlich
Rising to 561 metres above Loch Fyne's northern shore, this Dodd occupies relatively unfrequented terrain in the Argyll hills. The summit offers a commanding perspective over the loch and its surrounding sea inlets, though the ascent involves navigating rough, pathless ground through forestry and open hillside with limited waymarking.

Did You Know?
- •The name Meall Voirlich derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Meall Mhurlaig', meaning 'hill of the bay' or 'sea inlet', reflecting its position overlooking the complex coastline where Loch Fyne meets smaller sea lochs.
- •This hill shares its name with two better-known Munros in Scotland, one above Loch Earn and another near Loch Lomond, making careful navigation essential when planning a visit to this lesser-known Argyll summit.
- •The grid reference places it within working forestry land, meaning access routes may change as commercial felling progresses and new plantations mature over time.
