- •The Gaelic name Cnoc a' Chomh-stri translates as 'Hill of the Strife,' a title likely derived from historical clan disputes or contested grazing boundaries on the Inverliever estate.
- •The hill is located within Inverliever Forest, which holds the distinction of being Scotland's first state forest, established in 1907 to pioneer national timber production.
- •The summit offers a clear, specific vista of the jagged Ben Cruachan massif and the historic island of Inishail, which was once a sacred burial ground and the site of a medieval nunnery.
- •Exploring these slopes usually involves a classic Argyll mix of thick tussocks and hidden bogs, ensuring your boots get a thorough soaking long before you reach the top.
