About Meall Ghaordaidh
Meall Ghaordaidh rises on the north side of Glen Lochay, north-west of Killin. It reaches 1040m (3,412 ft) with 492m of prominence, a broad, grassy hill standing apart from its neighbours. Meall nan Tarmachan, the nearest higher hill, lies 7.1 km east.
The usual route starts at Duncroisk in Glen Lochay. A track leads up past the farm, then a path climbs the long south-east slopes to the summit, with a trig point and shelter at the top. Some walkers come up from Glen Lyon to the north.
The ascent is steady and simple. From the top you see across Glen Lochay to the Tarmachan ridge and the Ben Lawers range. Glen Lochay is quiet, and the hill sees fewer walkers than the Lawers group, so the path is faint in places.
