About Meall na h-Aodainn Moire

Rising above the northern reaches of Strathtay near Pitlochry, this rounded Grampian summit offers a quiet alternative to the busier Perthshire peaks. Its broad, heather-clad slopes provide a classic moorland experience, rewarding the steady pull to its 633-metre top with expansive views across the rolling landscape toward the Tay Forest Park.

Geology
You are walking across tough, quartz-rich stone and dark, carbon-filled layers. These sturdy rocks form the rugged foundation beneath your boots.

Did You Know?

  • The name is derived from the Gaelic Meall na h-Aodainn Mòire, which translates as 'Hill of the Great Face,' likely a reference to its prominent southern slopes that overlook the valley of the River Tay.
  • The hill is frequently climbed in tandem with the neighbouring Graham, Farragon Hill, which lies to the northwest; the high moorland between them offers a remote feel despite the proximity to Pitlochry.
  • From the summit cairn, there is a clear and impressive view of the 'Fairy Hill' of Schiehallion, which presents its most symmetrical profile to walkers looking west from this range.
  • Given its status as both a Hump and a Tump, it remains a destination primarily for baggers dedicated to completing the more exhaustive lists of British topographical prominences.
