About Meall nan Tri Tighearnan

Sitting on the high, undulating ridge west of Meall Ghaordaidh, this rounded summit offers a sense of isolation often missing from the busier Munros. The terrain is typical of the central Highlands—broad, grassy, and interspersed with peat hags—affording expansive views across the remote watersheds of Glen Lochay and Glen Lyon.

Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name translates from Gaelic as the 'Hill of the Three Lairds', which likely identifies the summit as a historical march point where the boundaries of three significant Highland estates met.
  • Most walkers visit this summit as a three-kilometre westward extension from the popular Munro Meall Ghaordaidh, though the intervening ground is notoriously boggy and requires careful picking of a line.
  • The summit offers a clear, elevated perspective of the 'Lyon four' range to the north, with the stony peaks of Càrn Mairg and Meall Garbh appearing particularly prominent across the glen.
  • Despite standing at nearly 892 metres, the hill is often bypassed by list-climbers because it lacks the 150 metres of prominence required to be classified as a Corbett.
