Uamh Mhòr

Uamh Mhòr (older spelling Uaighmor, also anglicised Uam Var[1]) is a summit in Kilmadock parish in Stirling council area, Scotland, north of the River Teith between Callander and Doune.[1] The name means "Great Cave",[1] referring to a large cave in the cliff face which was a hideout for brigands into the eighteenth century.[2] The peak is actually a southern top of Uamh Bheag to the north;[3][4] despite the name suggesting a smaller hill, Uamh Bheag is actually higher at 664 metres (2,178 ft) compared to just over 600 metres (2,000 ft).[4]
