About Maoile Lunndaidh

Maoile Lunndaidh, also written Maoil Lunndaidh, lies about 13 km south of Achnasheen in the Ross and Cromarty part of Highland. It forms part of the block of high ground separating Loch Monar from Gleann Fhiodhaig, a stretch of country with few roads and long approaches. It carries Munro status at just under 1,005 m.

Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is blade of rock 20m SW of large cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Which hill this one belongs to

Maoile Lunndaidh is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Creag Toll a' Choin — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 994 m. That hill is outside the lists OpenFell publishes, so it has no page here.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
