About

The Devil's Point is a mountain in highlands. (Mountain in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.) According to Wikipedia: "The Devil's Point is a mountain in the Cairngorms of Scotland, lying to the west of the Lairig Ghru pass. The Gaelic name means 'Penis of the Demon'. The English name is a result of a visit to the area by Queen Victoria. She asked her local ghillie, John Brown, to translate the name; to avoid embarrassment he gave a euphemistic answer."
