About Meall Buidhe
Meall Buidhe stands in the heart of Knoydart, the roadless peninsula between Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn. It reaches 946m (3,104 ft), with Meall Buidhe SE Top 0.4 km away. Luinne Bheinn lies 2.7 km to the north-east, and Ladhar Bheinn, the nearest higher hill, is 5.6 km north-west.
You reach Knoydart by boat from Mallaig to Inverie, or on foot from Kinloch Hourn or Loch Arkaig. From Inverie a track runs up Gleann Meadail, and you climb to the col and the summit ridge. Many walkers continue to Luinne Bheinn and return by Mam Barrisdale.
The ground is steep, rocky and broken, and the round is long. Allow plenty of daylight and plan around the ferry times. Paths on the upper hill are faint, and you need to navigate well in cloud.
