Meall nan Aighean

Rising above the northern shores of Loch Errochty, this rounded Grampian summit offers a quieter alternative to the busy Drumochter hills. The terrain is characteristic of the Central Highlands, featuring broad heather moorland and peat hags that reward those who enjoy navigating wild, pathless ground.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as "hill of the hinds," a reference to the female red deer that frequent these moorlands.
• •The summit provides a clear, commanding view south across the deep waters of Loch Errochty to the unmistakable, symmetrical cone of Schiehallion.
• •To the east, walkers can see across the vast, rolling wilderness of the Atholl Forest toward the high, rounded shoulders of the Beinn a' Ghlo massif.
• •Navigators should be cautious when planning their route; this peak is frequently confused with the 981-metre Munro of the same name located further south near Glen Lyon.
