| Munro Number: | 103 |

One of a group of hills (the other three being Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and Meall nan Aighean), known collectively as the Carn Mairg group, which form a big arc on the north side of Glen Lyon above Invervar. The nature of the hills along their broad ridges is more characteristic of the Cairngorms or eastern Grampians than of the neighbouring Breadalbane hills such as Ben Lawers.
The four Munros are linked by an undulating ridge with fairly small drops between their summits, but the distances between them are quite long, so that the traverse of all four mountains is an excellent high-level hillwalk. Start at Invervar and go up the Invervar Burn to Carn Gorm and continue along the broad ridges, in places following the remains of an old fence, to Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and finally Meall nan Aighean. Descend west from there to return to Invervar.
