At the western end of the Monadhliath, Meall na h-Aisre is a fairly remotte and featureless Corbett hill. Recent man-made intrusions caused by electrical pylon installation and construction of the Stronelairg windfarm and Glendoe dam do blight the views north and north-west, but also make for easy and quick access !
The most obvious choice of route would be from the Old Military Road running alongside the River Spey, from where a quick hike up a bulldozed track reaches close to Meall na h-Aisre's summit.
Adding in Gairbeinn to the west of Meall na h-Aisre makes for a fine circular route with fairly challenging navigation over the moorland between the summits should mist be down.
