About Meall nam Fuaran North Top
The slightly shorter but equally sodden sibling of the main Corbett, Meall nam Fuaran North Top offers a grandstand view of the Lawers range. It's a rounded, grassy lump that proves you don't need a sharp peak to provide a thoroughly exhausting day out in the Trossachs.

Did You Know?
- •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Hill of the Springs,' which is both a poetic geological description and a practical warning that your boots will be tested to their absolute waterproof limits.
- •It sits in the historically significant Breadalbane region, a landscape shaped by the shifting fortunes of the Clan MacNab and the relentless grazing of Highland sheep.
- •At 797m, it comfortably clears the Corbett height threshold, but because its parent peak is nearby and slightly taller, it lives the quiet life of a 'Top' rather than a headline act.
- •The surrounding glens were once bustling with shielings—summer dwellings for cattle herders—but today the only permanent residents are the red deer who watch your laboured breathing with quiet detachment.
- •The transition from the main summit to this North Top involves a 'gentle' dip that, in typical Scottish fashion, is usually filled with a primordial soup of black peat that has a particular affinity for expensive gaiters.
