Meall a' Phubuill East Top

Rising from the rugged ridges between Glen Mallie and Glen Loy, this secondary summit offers a quieter alternative to the nearby Munros. The terrain is characteristically West Highland—heathery, peat-scarred, and wild. It serves as an excellent vantage point for surveying the massive southern face of Gulvain across the glen.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Meall a' Phubuill', meaning 'Hill of the Tent' or 'Pavilion', likely describing the rounded profile of the main massif when viewed from the glens below.
• •This summit is usually climbed in conjunction with its parent peak, Meall a' Phubuill, connected by a high, undulating ridge that rarely drops below the 700-metre contour.
• •Its position provides a commanding view of the southern approach to Gulvain and the deep, wooded trench of Glen Loy, with the unmistakable silhouette of Ben Nevis dominating the southern skyline.
• •Despite the name suggesting a 'tent', the local combination of peat hags and high rainfall means you are far more likely to find a swamp than a suitable spot to pitch one.
