Creag Meagaidh, Mountain summit in Scottish Highlands, Great Britain
Creag Meagaidh rises to 1130 meters with a flat summit plateau, five distinct ridges, and deep corries surrounded by substantial cliffs.
The mountain's first documented climb occurred in 1786 by Thomas Thornton, marking the beginning of recorded mountaineering activities in this area.
The mountain stands within a National Nature Reserve established in 1986, protecting native Scottish flora and providing habitat for rare mountain birds.
Winter climbers access the mountain through paths from Aberarder or Moy, with the summit identified by a large stone cairn marker.
The mountain's corrie walls harbor specialized moss heath communities that survived centuries of grazing, supporting rare alpine plant species.
