Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Gaelic 'mullach' (summit), 'coire' (corrie or mountain hollow), and 'àrd' (high), describing the hill's defining feature - the elevated corrie carved into its northern slopes.
  • At 539 metres, it falls just short of the 610-metre threshold required for Corbett status, placing it among the lower tier of classified Scottish hills despite its substantial bulk.
  • The grid reference NH205046 positions it in Glen Spean country, where the surrounding terrain saw significant Commando training during World War II, though this particular summit was likely too remote for regular military use.
