Did You Know?
- •The name An Leth-bheinn comes from Scottish Gaelic meaning 'the half mountain', likely referring to its appearance from the loch below or its position as a subsidiary height compared to larger neighbours.
- •The summit overlooks the Corran Narrows, one of the narrowest points on Loch Linnhe, where the ferry crossing has operated since at least 1886, providing the main link between Fort William and the remote Ardnamurchan and Morvern peninsulas.
- •Despite its modest height, the hill's position on the lochside means it rises almost directly from sea level, giving it more vertical prominence than many higher hills that begin from elevated glens.
