About Meall Odhar
About 3 km west of Tyndrum, Meall Odhar rises close to the northern edge of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park as one of the Tyndrum Hills. A drop of some 183 m gives it Marilyn and Graham status.
The name comes from Gaelic and translates roughly as dun-coloured round hill, which describes both its colouring and its form.
