Pinnacle of the goats
Roughly 300 metres high, Binnean nan Gobhar is a rocky outcrop in the Scottish Highlands, likely composed of ancient Lewisian gneiss. Its name, meaning "Pinnacle of the goats," suggests historical or folkloric associations with wild mountain goats or early herding practices. It matters as a distinctive landmark in a remote landscape, reflecting both geological history and Gaelic cultural heritage.
