About Mayar
Mayar stands on the high Mounth plateau above Glen Doll, at the head of Glen Clova. It is a Munro and a HuMP, with a rounded grassy top. Driesh, its partner and the nearest higher hill, lies 3.0 km to the east along the plateau edge.
The usual route starts at the Glen Doll car park. A forest track leads into Corrie Fee, a glacial corrie with a waterfall and crags. A path climbs out of the corrie onto the plateau, and a short walk west brings you to the summit. Most walkers then follow the fence east to Driesh and descend the Shank of Drumfollow.
The plateau is broad and peaty, so take a compass in mist. Corrie Fee is a nature reserve with arctic-alpine plants on its crags.
Mayar is 929 m (3,047 ft) high with 112 m of prominence. It is in Cairngorms, Scotland. It is the 131st highest of the 525 summits Peakify lists in Cairngorms. The nearest summits are Bawhelps (2.1 km), Shank of Drumfollow (1.9 km) and Craigie Thieves (3.7 km).
Yes. Driesh lies 3.0 km to the east and the round of both from Glen Doll is the usual outing.
Walk from Glen Doll through Corrie Fee and climb the path out of the corrie onto the plateau.
