Marilyn · Glen Coe & Lochaber
Na Maoilean
Only 352m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone near the head of Loch Etive. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.

Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk past waterfalls and through Atlantic oakwood on the lower slopes to the 352m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Rough ground typical of Lochaber — a mix of rock, peat and grass. The terrain is more demanding than the height suggests.
In winter
Winter brings snow and ice that makes Lochaber hills serious propositions. The wet climate means ice forms readily. Microspikes are useful throughout winter.
This hill is in the Glen Coe SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
