Meall nan Tarmachan is a mountain amongst the Lawers Hills in Perthshire. It reaches a height of 3,425 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro.
It stands near Killin, just west of Ben Lawers. It is often climbed as part of the Tarmachan ridge, the other peaks of which are Meall Garbh (3,366 feet), Beinn nan Eachan (3,281 feet) and Creag na Caillach (3,005 feet); these three peaks are Tops rather than Munros, and lie to the south-west of Meall nan Tarmachan.
It is normally approached from the east by the road heading north from the Ben Lawers visitors centre. From the Ben Lawers visitors centre the summit is only a short walk, with no real difficulties. Traversing the entire Tarmachan ridge does however involve some scrambling.
