Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh & Meall na Teanga
‘Nose of the Rough Corrie’ & ‘Hill of the Tongue’
Sròn a’ Choire Ghairbh – “Nose of the Rough Corrie” In Gaelic imagery, a nose often symbolises a sentinel or watchful presence. Sròn a’ Choire Ghairbh, the nose of the rough corrie, can be imagined as a guardian peak, standing firm above Loch Lochy and keeping watch over the Great Glen. Its rugged slopes echo the resilience of the land, a reminder of the strength needed to endure Highland storms.
Meall na Teanga – “Hill of the Tongue” The tongue in folklore is the voice of the land — a place where echoes carry stories across the glen. Meall na Teanga, the hill of the tongue, can be seen as the mountain that speaks, its summit projecting views and tales far into Knoydart and Glen Shiel. Climbers often feel the silence here broken only by wind and birdcall, as if the hill itself whispers the lore of the Highlands.
Sròn a’ Choire Ghairbh & Meall na Teanga Together, the nose of the rough corrie and the hill of the tongue form a symbolic pair: one a guardian, the other a voice. Rising above Loch Lochy, they embody watchfulness and storytelling, inviting walkers to see the Great Glen not just as landscape, but as legend.
