About Meall na Dige
A prominent Munro Top of Beinn Sheasgarnaich, Meall na Dige offers a rugged, high-altitude wander for those completionists who haven't yet learned that 965 meters of 'ditch' is still quite a lot of uphill work. It's the perfect spot for quiet reflection and very wet socks.

Did You Know?
- •The name translates from Gaelic as the 'Hill of the Ditch' or 'Dyke,' likely referring to the deep-cut burn or a boundary feature on its southern flank.
- •Sitting at 965.5 meters, it is significantly higher than many actual Munros, yet it remains a 'Top' due to its proximity to the parent peak, Beinn Sheasgarnaich.
- •The summit ridge serves as a fantastic vantage point for surveying the Glen Lochay hills, offering a unique profile of the Crianlarich Munros to the west.
- •If you find yourself here, you are likely a 'Top-bagger,' a specific breed of hiker who enjoys adding extra miles to an already long day just to satisfy a spreadsheet.
- •True to its name, the approach involves a suspicious amount of bog-hopping, ensuring your boots will be heavier than your sense of achievement by the time you reach the cairn.
