Note that limited verge parking is also possible where the contouring track encountered (see end of first paragraph below) meets the Lairig road (NN604384). Follow the track through a gate and then for 300 metres to where the path crosses.

The pay and display car park at the 430m contour is spacious, with signboards about natural history. Start at the bottom corner of the car park, following a rough track briefly, then turning up to the right on a well-built path. After 800 metres the path crosses a contouring track.

Continue up the well-built path, into a fenced regeneration enclosure, to meet Meall nan Tarmachan’s south ridge at about the 700m level. The wide path heads up the ridge, which is a sequence of grassy lumps to a top at 923m. The path descends over a ladder stile to cross a col, then rises in very steep stone steps. As the angle eases a bit, the path slants up a terrace shelf on the east side of the hill, passing just below the summit, to join the north ridge. Turn back up left 50 metres to the small cairn of Meall nan Tarmachan.
