With the Grahams defined as having a drop of 150m all round, they're generally well separated, but north of Crieff, toward Aberfeldy on the A822 road, there are two to the east and one to the west that can be tackled in one day.
The weather looked promising with a clear bright start in Crieff.

Near Amulree, a track leads off eastwards to a farm, and beyond that lie Meall Reamhar and Meall nan Caorach.

The gates on the track were in varying states of repair.

Navigation to Meall Reamhar was straightforward. Other than being on the wrong side of the fence.

To the west was the Ben Chonzie massif, which would be visited later in the trip.

The 620m summit of Meall Reamhar. There was a cold wind up there!

Meall nan Caorach is on the opposite side of the valley, with a ridge running NW to Creag Gorm.

Meall nan Caorach is 5m higher than Meall Reamhar, at 625m !

Continuing on the ridge to Creag Gorm gave a view back to both the Graham summits.

From the 611m top of Creag Gorm, the view to the NW included Loch Freuchie, from where Beinn na Gainimh would be approached the following day.
