Fuar Tholl
Fuar Tholl is a mountain in the highlands of Scotland. It is situated in the Coulin deer forest 21 km SW of Achnasheen in the Wester Ross region of the Highland council area.
==Overview==
Fuar Tholl has a rocky summit, and has acquired the nickname Wellington's Nose because the summit ridge is similar in profile to an upturned face which bears a supposed likeness to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The considerable nose on the face is provided the tip of the Mainreachan Buttress which can just be seen over the outline of the main summit. Fuar Tholl reaches a height of 907 metres (2976 feet) making it the 13th highest Corbett.〔(www.scotclimb.org.uk. ) Gives list of Corbetts in height order.〕 It fails to reach Munro status by just seven metres, but despite this it is regarded by many as the finest of the mountains in the Glen Carron area.〔''"100 Best Routes on Scottish Mountains"'',Ralph Storer, ISBN 0-7515-0300-2 Pages 135 “Fuar Tholl .... is the finest mountain in the area”.〕 The mountain’s name translates from the Gaelic language as “Cold Hole”, it was probably named by ancient settlers in Glen Carron and refers to the deep eastern corrie which is shaded from sunlight and faces that glen.〔''"The Call Of The Corbetts"'', Irvine Butterfield, ISBN 0-7153-2754-2 Page 41 Gives details of name translation and meaning.〕
