Tour Scotland photograph of Red Deer Stags below Stob Ghabhar, a Scottish mountain located north west of Bridge of Orchy. It is part of the Black Mount group of mountains in Scotland. Duncan Ban MacIntyre, born 1724, died 1812, one of Scotland's greatest poets in the Gaelic tradition was born in the southern foothills of Stob Ghabhar at the croft of Druim Liaghart near Victoria Bridge. MacIntyre, whose birthplace is marked by a plinth, worked as a forester and gamekeeper in the area until 1767 when he moved to Edinburgh. Much of his poetry was concerned with the flora, fauna and mountains of the area.
