About Meall a' Bhuiridh
Standing at the edge of Rannoch Moor near the heads of Glen Coe and Glen Etive, Meall a' Bhuiridh looks down on the A82 and the Kings House Hotel. The Glencoe ski area occupies its northern slopes.
A high bealach connects it to Creise, and the two are frequently combined. It is also the last of four Munros on the Clachlet Traverse, a 25 km south-to-north line from the inn at Inveroran to the Kingshouse, the others being Stob a' Choire Odhair, Stob Ghabhar and Creise.
