Meall a Bhuachaille


Meall a Bhuachaille.

Meall a Bhuachaille sits proudly above Glenmore in the Cairngorms National Park.

It is a delightful walk neglected by the munro baggers for it's lack of height! It is a humble corbett ( Scottish Hill between 2500 and 3000 feet ) but provides outstanding views of the Cairngorms and the Rothiemurchus forest.

A circular route starts at Glenmore and heads for Ryvoan Bothy past the green lochan, An Lochan Uaine. Ryvoan isn't exactly a luxury cottage but it does provide self catering accommodation on the cheap!

Head west from the bothy on steep slopes on a good path and you will soon reach the summit. After taking in the views drop down west to a col before descending south down a path through the forest back to Glenmore. A superb half days walk.
