Schiehallion

Local nameSchiehallion
LocationEdinburgh, UK

Schiehallion is a prominent mountain in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Schiehallion has a rich botanical life, interesting archaeology, and a unique place in scientific history for an 18th-century experiment in "weighing the world". The mountain's popularity amongst walkers led to erosion on its footpath and extensive repairs were undertaken in 2001.

The name Schiehallion is a Scoticised form of the Gaelic name Sìdh Chailleann, which translates as "Mound of the Caledonians", although Maskelyne reported a translation of "Constant Storm", besides a Lowland Scots name of "Maiden-Pap".
