Meikle Bin beyond Strathcarron Reservoir

Meikle Bin is a peak in the Kilsyth Hills (not the Campsie Fells as commonly stated) in Scotland. It is the highest of the group at 570m (1,870 ft) and with that height it is classified as a Marilyn. The hill is a prominent local landmark for the people of the towns surrounding the Kilsyth Hills. It was the site of a fatal accident in January 1950, when a Fairey Firefly of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm crashed just below the summit in low cloud while en route to HMS Sanderling Naval Air Station. Both crewmen were killed on impact. Wreckage can be seen on the north and east slopes.56°00′49″N 4°08′23″W / 56.01374°N 4.13979°W / 56.01374; -4.13979
