About Meall Buidhe
This Meall Buidhe forms the northern side of Loch an Daimh in the southern Highlands of Perth and Kinross, reaching 932 metres.
The usual line climbs north from the eastern end of the loch until the going eases, then angles east and finally north once the ridge is underfoot. Stuchd an Lochain, across the water, is the customary companion; a longer circuit round the loch can add the Corbett Sron a' Choire Chnapanich as well.
