Mayar, Mountain summit in Angus, Scotland
Description
Mayar is a mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands rising to 928 meters above sea level. The northwest slopes are gradual while the eastern side drops steeply over Glen Doll.
History
The mountain was cataloged in 1891 as part of Sir Hugh Munro's systematic listing of Scottish peaks above 914 meters. This classification continues to shape how climbers systematically explore Scottish summits.
Culture
Scottish mountaineers regularly climb Mayar as part of the traditional Munro-bagging pursuit, documenting their ascents through personal records and photographs.
Practical
The ascent is best approached via Glen Doll, a broad valley offering good access to the area. The terrain is easy to walk at lower elevations but becomes steeper as you climb higher.
Did you know?
The northeastern face displays exposed rock crags that drop sharply beside the Fee Burn waterfall. This geological feature creates a striking contrast between gentler slope sections and dramatic cliff formations.
