West of Glen Feshie and near the foot of Glen Tromie, the heather-clad lump of Meallach Mhòr along with its two side-kicks Meallach Bheag and Meall an Dubh-chadha, stand in a fairly remote corner of the western Cairngorms.
The most pleasant route up Meallach Mhòr begins with a cycle down the estate roads through beautiful Glen Tromie to reach some remote hydro-works from where the start of a lovely hillwalking route takes in this Corbett hill along with nearby Càrn Dearg Mòr.
