I've always enjoyed looking over at Rannoch Moor from the mountains to the west, and once from a Corbett to the east and the mountains around Loch Ossian. I've not yet ventured onto it. Too many worrying legends...
In Gaelic, leathad generally translates as a modestly inclined slope, making Leathad Mor "Big slope". Also, I believe Pheadair is the genitive of Peadar, thus meaning of (red) Peter, rather than of (red) Patrick.

Thanks Bryan! It was a great day and a half, but I am not sure I'd be so happy with it in a normally soggy spring.

Your writing is a treat. I feel like I need to kick mud off my boots.
Well Rannoch is likely to have the opposite effect!
