009 | A well known name applied to one of the highest hills in the Parish of Luss. It rises steeply and regularly, on all sides, to a great height, and its top is crowned with a little round knoll of about 2 chains in diameter at the top, from which it takes its name. "Cruach an t'Sithein" signifies the hill of the little knoll, or, in this case, the fairy knoll, as at a remote period it was supposed to be the resort of a tribe of fairies. |
