About East Mealour
The walk up East Mealour rewards you with proper Highland views, though it's not the sort of peak that'll knock your socks off if you're fresh from Ben Nevis. Near Killin, this spot sits at the quieter end of the Tay Valley, which means fewer crowds than the honeypot peaks around Glencoe.
The ascent takes about two hours return, following a straightforward path that climbs steadily through moorland. Nothing technical, nothing dramatic - just consistent uphill slog. Weather matters here. On a clear day the views across Loch Tay and westward are genuinely worth the effort. Bring a map and compass anyway; it's easy to get turned around in mist, and there's no mobile signal to save you.
Families with confident walkers will manage it fine. Young kids will find it tedious unless they're properly incentivised (yes, the promise of a snack at the summit works wonders). History buffs get little here - it's a landscape walk, not a historical tour.
The nearby Loch Tay Highland Lodges makes a sensible base, sitting just 5.5 miles away. It's not fancy - 3.6 stars tells you that - but it's functional for a long weekend exploring the broader Tay area. Combine East Mealour with walks around Killin itself and you've got a decent three-day itinerary.
Allow a full morning or afternoon. No facilities on the hill, so bring water. Free to access, as with most Scottish peaks.
