Meall Innis an Loichel
The name means 'rounded hill' in Gaelic. Only 390m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone within reach of Inverness, the Highland capital. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.
Gaelic: “rounded hill” · Pronunciation: myowl
