Meall nan Aighean Terrain Block
Meall nan Aighean (often called Meall nan Eun on older maps) is a rocky peak in the Glen Lyon horseshoe. It is the easternmost of the group, known for its craggy summit which provides a fun scramble. It sits apart from the others, separated by a deep col, giving it a distinct identity. The view down into the depths of Glen Lyon is impressive.
