Meall nan Tarmachan
Meall nan Tarmachan from the south.Elevation 1,043 m (3,422 ft) Parent peak Ben Lawers Listing Munro Translation Hill of the ptarmigans (Gaelic) Location Location Perth and Kinross, Scotland Topo map OS Landranger 51 OS grid NN585390 Meall nan Tarmachan is a mountain in the Southern Highlands of Scotland near Killin just west of Ben Lawers. It is often climbed as part of the Tarmachan ridge, the other peaks of which are Meall Garbh (1026 m), Beinn nan Eachan (1000 m) and Creag na Caillach (916 m); these three peaks are Tops rather than Munros, and lie to the south-west of Meall nan Tarmachan.
It is normally approached from the east via the road heading north from the Ben Lawers visitors centre. From the Ben Lawers visitors centre the summit is only a short walk, with no real difficulties. Traversing the entire Tarmachan ridge does however involve some scrambling.
