The mountain is not high, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the top. Everyone is waiting for the most beautiful sunset.

The Scottish Memorial Hall on the top of the mountain is modeled after the Parnon in Athens. Due to insufficient funds during the construction process, only the frame was completed, which is called "Scotland's shame".
