Meall Chomraidh
The name means 'rounded hill' in Gaelic. A 466m hill in Glen Lyon, Scotland's longest enclosed glen with at least 150m of prominence — enough to feel like a real summit rather than a shoulder. The modest height belies the quality of the walking.

Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent through birch woodland and heather moorland typical of Highland Perthshire to the 466m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Mixed farmland and moorland. The Perthshire hills are gentler than the main Highlands, with less exposure and better drainage.
In winter
Winter walking is comfortable with standard gear. Snow rarely persists below 600m. The well-drained terrain means less ice than wetter western hills.
