Ceann Garbh

Rising steeply above the Glen Dochart valley near Tyndrum, this rugged Tump is often visited as a prefix to its parent Munro, Meall Glas. Its broad, grassy summit offers a commanding perspective of the Crianlarich giants, Ben More and Stob Binnein, alongside the distinctively sharp silhouette of Ben Lui.

• •The name Ceann Garbh translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Rough Head' or 'Rough End,' referring to its position as the craggy western terminus of the Meall Glas ridge.
• •The summit provides an exceptional vantage point over the Cononish valley, offering a clear, unobstructed look at the 'Queen of the Highlands,' Ben Lui, and the surrounding Tyndrum hills.
• •Most walkers reach this height by ascending the steep, pathless slopes of Coire Garbh from the south, a route that requires a steady rhythm and a tolerance for wet grass.
• •It is a classic victim of 'Munro-adjacent' syndrome; despite standing at a respectable 804 metres, it is frequently bypassed by those rushing toward the main summits, leaving it a quiet sanctuary for the more patient hillwalker.
