Meall a' Bhogair Mor

Rising within the vast moorlands of the North West Highlands, this broad Tump provides a quiet, pathless experience away from the crowded Munros. At 670 metres, its heathery, undulating summit offers a sense of profound isolation and a perspective on the wilder, less-trodden stretches between Glen Carron and Loch Monar.

• •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'Meall a' Bhogair Mhòir', which translates as the 'large hill of the soft or boggy place', a fitting description for the mossy terrain found on its lower flanks.
• •The summit provides an uninterrupted view south towards the remote Monar Forest peaks, specifically the distinctive profiles of Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich and Lurg Mhòr across the glens.
• •Despite its modest stature as a Tump, it serves as a significant landmark for those navigating the rugged moorland gap between the A890 road and the northern shores of Loch Monar.
• •True to its name, the approach often provides a rigorous and involuntary test of a hillwalker's gaiters among the sprawling, saturated peat hags.
