Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Gaelic 'Meall Innis na Sine', likely meaning the 'hill of the meadow of the storm', though 'sine' can also refer to a teat or breast-shaped landmark in topographical naming.
- •Though often bypassed by those focused on higher ground, its position on the northern ridge of Mullach Fraoch-choire offers an exceptional profile view of that mountain's famous jagged pinnacles.
- •The summit provides an intimate look at the neighbouring peak of Ciste Dhubh, whose steep eastern face appears particularly formidable from this perspective.
- •It is the sort of peak where the silence is rarely broken, except perhaps by the sound of a Munro-bagger several hundred metres above realising they have bypassed a perfectly good summit.
