Meall nan Ceapairean

Tucked away in the rugged North West Highlands, this remote summit offers a quiet alternative to the region's more famous giants. Its terrain is defined by a mix of rough heather and sandstone outcrops. Reaching the cairn provides an intimate perspective on the surrounding wilderness, situated far from the busier trodden paths.

• •Derived from the Scottish Gaelic, the name translates as the 'hill of the little blocks'. While 'ceapaire' is the modern word for a sandwich, in this landscape it refers to the blocky sandstone outcrops or thick turfs characteristic of the local moorland.
• •Situated southeast of the An Teallach massif, the summit offers a unique perspective on the famous 'Lord Berkeley’s Seat' and the jagged pinnacles of the Corrag Bhuidhe ridge.
• •The hill overlooks the long, lonely track from Corrie Hallie, a route known to almost every walker heading into the 'Great Wilderness' of Fisherfield, yet few actually divert to visit this specific cairn.
• •To the south, the view is dominated by the remote peaks of the Fisherfield Forest, specifically the sharp quartzite profile of Sgùrr Bàn and the massive, tiered slopes of Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair.
