Meall na Teanga, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland
Description
Meall na Teanga is a mountain summit in the Northwest Highlands rising to 918 meters (3,012 feet). The mountain features a complex ridge system with several nearby peaks that can be approached as part of a longer hillwalking route.
History
The peak was initially grouped as a subsidiary summit but gained independent Munro status following revised mountaineering classifications in the early 20th century. This change reflected updated surveying methods and a reassessment of Scotland's mountain classifications.
Culture
The Gaelic name means Hill of the Tongue, describing the distinctive ridge that extends northward from the summit. Visitors hiking across these ridges notice how the terrain shapes the mountain's silhouette from different angles.
Practical
The most straightforward access point is from Kilfinnan, where a clear starting path exists for walkers. Weather conditions change quickly at this altitude, so hikers should carry appropriate clothing and expect muddy or rocky terrain.
Did you know?
Rainwater from every slope drains directly into Loch Lochy before flowing onward to Loch Linnhe. This drainage pattern makes the mountain a natural water gateway for the surrounding landscape.
