'Rocky peak of the Fiddler' or simply 'The Fiddler', from Loch an tuath. There are a few theories on how this mountain came to get its name; some folk say its triangular form is the elbow of a fiddler high in the air, others say that it looks like the heel of a bow. One of the more fanciful notions I’ve heard is that the cries of Eagles, echoing off the face of the buttress, would sustain and create a note much like a fiddle played in the high register. Whatever mystery is written into these hills it makes no odds. Fact is, I've still to venture into the glen which sits at its base, An Clù-nead (Warm, Sheltered Rest) and I fantasise about it often. Though the eagle story may be spurious, I would love to hear the sound of a fiddle in that place.
