Tour Scotland photograph of Lochnagar mountain and Loch nan Eun in the Grampians of Scotland. Technically, the English name for the mountain is a misunderstanding, being named after Lochan na Gaire, the little loch of the noisy sound, a loch to be found in the mountain's north east corrie. Today the lochan is popularly called Lochnagar too. The summit itself may be referred to as Cac Càrn Beag, meaning " small cairn of faeces " in Scottish Gaelic. Beinn Chìochan, mountain of breasts, is an alternative Gaelic name.
