From the Wikipedia article
Beinn Mheadhoin or Beinn Meadhain (Scottish Gaelic for 'middle mountain') is a mountain in the Highlands of Scotland. It is a Munro with a height of 1,182 metres (3,878 ft) and by some counts it is the twelfth-highest mountain of Great Britain. It lies in the very heart of the Cairngorm mountains, and is one of the most remote in the region. Beinn Mheadoin is surrounded by deep glens and mountain lakes, including Loch A'an, Loch Etchachan and the Dubh Lochan. The summit is broad and flat. It is noted for its summit tors - large boulders left by retreating ice sheets at the end of the last ice age. The highest point is, in fact, the top of one of the largest tors, and a scramble is required to reach it.
