    3. I found this http://munros-in-the-key-of-george.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair pronounced Moolach corrie veechk erachar translated as Summit of the corrie of Farquhar's son. It lies near Lochgoilhead, which used to be Lamont territory. The son could have been Malcolm, of course, but it looks more like Fearchar, son of Fearchar to me. I find it quite fascinating that 12th century history is preserved in the Gaelic name for a mountain. Laumon was born by 1235 and dead by 1295, so the mountain is named after someone who lived at least one generation before Laumon. Sandy
