Meall Gorm Strathcarron

Welcome

Meall Gorm is 949m high and is part of the Fannaichs.

If you’re an experienced climber thinking about this one then you should consider climbing it along with An Coileachan. The Fannaichs can be found to the north of Loch Fannich. The summit of Meall Gorm is fairly level and from here you can descend to An Coileachan at the South East and to Sgurr Mor to the North West. Meall Gorm is close to the NC 500 route.
