Tighvein
Tighvein is a hill above Lamlash on the Isle of Arran in western Scotland.[1] It is a Marilyn (a hill with topographic prominence of at least 150m) and the highest point on the south-eastern section of the island, south-east of the pass of Monambre Glen. Two miles from the nearest road, the top is a heathery, boggy moor, almost entirely ringed by thick forestry plantations. For this reason it is rarely climbed; there are no paths to the top.

gollark: There's a "STOP DOING MATH" one too, is this part of a series? Can I find *others* somewhere?
gollark: I play modded, so I don't have to bother with actually manually mining for very long.
gollark: Mining at night is completely sensible. The anti-night-mining thing is just ridiculous propaganda.
gollark: Well, I will add that to my queue of unwatched videos.
gollark: No.
