Meall Garbh, Mountain summit in Glen Lyon, Scotland

The mountain reaches an elevation of 968 meters with two distinct peaks, where the north-western point stands marginally taller than its counterpart.

The mountain received its designation as a Munro during the systematic classification of Scottish mountains exceeding 3,000 feet in the early 20th century.

The name Meall Garbh originates from Scottish Gaelic language elements, translating directly to rough hill in the English language.

Hikers access the mountain through a 14-kilometer circuit path starting at Invervar, which connects four separate Munro peaks in sequence.

The summit features an unconventional cairn constructed from iron stake posts rather than the traditional stone formations found on other Scottish peaks.
