Meall Chuaich, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Meall Chuaich rises to 951 meters in elevation, featuring a rounded profile with a prominent cairn marking its highest point in northern Scotland.
The mountain stands as part of the traditional Munro collection, established in 1891 when Sir Hugh Munro cataloged all Scottish peaks above 3000 feet.
Scottish mountaineers regularly visit this peak as part of the Munro-bagging tradition, where climbers aim to reach all designated Munro summits.
The ascent path begins at a layby on the A9 road near Cuaich, following estate tracks and a marked trail for 14 kilometers round trip.
The mountain contains an underground aqueduct system that channels water through the Highland landscape as part of local hydroelectric infrastructure.
