The craggy and dramatic Munro of Meall nan Tàrmachan ([Myall nan TAR-ma-chan] Gaelic meaning Hill of the Ptarmigans), between Glen Lyon and Loch Tay, owes some of its popularity to an access road which rises to over 500m, though this sometimes closes in winter.
Cam Chreag is on Tàrmachan's subsidiary top of Meall Garbh (‘the rough hill') to the south-west of the main summit.
