Mount Brandon
Mount Brandon or Brandon Mountain ()〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a 952 m (3123 ft) mountain on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. It is the highest peak of the unnamed central mountain range of the Dingle Peninsula and the ninth highest peak on the island.〔 It is also the highest Irish peak outside the Macgillycuddy's Reeks.〔 It is classed as a Furth by the Scottish Mountaineering Club.〔(''Mountains - Key Facts. The Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds & Furths'' ) at www.smc.org.uk. Accessed on 2 Feb 2013.〕 Mount Brandon is named after Saint Brendan and is the end of a Christian pilgrimage trail known as ''Cosán na Naomh''. The small village of Brandon lies at the foot of the mountain, on the north side.
==Name==
The mountain takes its name from Saint Brendan or ''Bréanainn'', who is said to have been born in what is now County Kerry. Brendan is chiefly known for his legendary voyage to the "Isle of the Blessed", also called Saint Brendan's Island. The tale of Brendan's voyage may be a Christianization of the earlier ''Voyage of Bran''.
A medieval work about Brendan's life calls the mountain ''Sliabh nDaidche'' (in the Irish version ''Beatha Bhréanainn'') or ''Mons Aitche'' (in the Latin version ''Vita Brendani''), and Alan Mac an Bhaird has translated this as "mountain of Faithche".〔Tempan, Paul. (Irish Hill and Mountain Names ). MountainViews.ie.〕 However, some believe the name refers to Slieve Aughty rather than Mount Brandon.〔Plummer, Charles. (Slieve Aughty: Terra Secreta ).〕
