Tamed by forestry tracks and wind farm roads, Meall Dubh is an otherwise rugged wee Corbett hill sitting alone above the moorlands west of the Great Glen.

Prior to the building of the Beinneun Wind Farm, the easiest access to gain Meall Dubh was to head in from the forestry tracks by the River Loyne to the west of the hill. This reached a height of around 300m, leaving just under 3km of bounding over heather and grass covered slopes to arrive at the summit.

Since construction of wind farm, more tracks have been built enabling the use of a bike to get up to a height of 700m and within 1km of Meall Dubh's summit.
