Meall Garbh is one of four peaks in a range which forms a horseshoe shaped continuous ridge of 5½ miles (9 km) from east to west on the north side of Glen Lyon in Perth and Kinross. The summit is flat and featureless and has two tops which reach 968m / 3175 feet and 963m / 3159 feet respectively. The ridge is very wide, and the corries are smooth with few crags. The peak should be avoided during the stalking season since the corries are commonly used for stag shooting.
