Maoile Lunndaidh is a broad, nearly level plateau at the head of Loch Monar, and its name is usually given as 'bare hill of the wet place', after its boggy lower slopes. Two big corries, Fuar Tholl Mòr and Toll a' Choin, cut into it, and the first holds several small lochans. The top has a large cairn, but a blade of rock 20 m away is fractionally higher. Hugh Munro chose this summit in 1891, though neighbouring Creag Toll a' Choin was listed instead from 1921 to 1981.
