Did You Know?
- •The Irish name Cnoc an Liathain translates as 'the hill of the greyish one,' likely an ancient reference to the specific colour of the rock or vegetation found at the summit.
- •Its classification as a Marilyn ensures it has at least 150 metres of prominence, meaning it stands as a distinct and independent peak from any surrounding high ground.
- •The name Loughsalt is an anglicisation of 'Loch Salt,' which itself originates from the Irish 'Loch Saileann,' meaning the Lake of Salt.
- •At 469 metres, it is just high enough to be a Marilyn but just low enough to be ignored by those who only count their hills in thousands of feet.
