014.05 | "A Bhreac Leachd" signifies, The mottled declivity. It is well known and commonly applied to the whole of that feature around the ◬ [trigonometrical point] on the adjoining Trace. The east side & part of the south between the brow of the hill (shewn by yellow dots) & the dyke, is the only part which answers the signification of the name, this part being slightly mottled with scattered rocks. There is a longish ridge on the top of the hill running northwards from the Pole, but the outer yellow dotting east of that ridge may be taken as the fair extent of flat top belonging to the feature. This hill falls finely to the "Burn of Mar" in the south. |
