Stob Coir' an AlbannaichA significant mountain on the border of Highland and Argyll & Bute, Stob Coir' an Albannaich has a sharp pointed summit that cannot be observed from its steep lower slopes, which rises to 1044m (3425 feet) to the east of Glen Etive and Ben Starav. At its summit there is a particularly large cairn, a relic of early theodolite triangulation by the Ordnance Survey.
The name Stob Coir' an Albannaich means "peak of the corrie of the Scotsman".
