Meall an t-Seallaidh

Rising steeply above the village of Balquhidder, this prominent Corbett offers a quieter alternative to the neighbouring Munros. Its grassy slopes lead to a spacious summit with expansive views across Loch Voil towards the Crianlarich hills. It is often paired with Creag Mac Ranaich for a rugged, satisfying circuit.

• •The Gaelic name Meall an t-Seallaidh translates as 'Hill of the View' or 'Hill of the Prospect,' a fitting title for a peak that sits at a topographical crossroads between the Trossachs and the higher Highlands.
• •Hillwalkers typically combine this summit with its neighbour, Creag Mac Ranaich; the two are linked by a high, often boggy col known as the Cam Chreag.
• •The summit offers a particularly grand perspective of the massive southern faces of Ben More and Stob Binnein, which tower over the landscape just across the glen to the north.
• •The approach from the south passes close to the final resting place of the outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, whose grave is located in the old kirk yard at Balquhidder.
• •While named for its 'view,' the broad, undulating summit plateau can be a disorienting place to find that prospect if the cloud drops, requiring careful navigation between the various knolls.
