Goat Fell, Mountain summit in Isle of Arran, Scotland.
Standing at 874 meters, Goat Fell rises from sea level near Brodick Castle, offering views across the Firth of Clyde and Scottish mainland.
The mountain became a focal point of public attention in 1889 when tourist Edwin Rose was murdered on its slopes by John Watson Laurie.
The mountain's name combines English and Scottish Gaelic elements, known locally as Gaoda Bheinn, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the region.
The main hiking path begins at Brodick Castle, covering 5 kilometers through forest and moorland terrain to reach the granite summit.
From the summit viewpoint table, visitors can spot Northern Ireland's coastline, the Mull of Kintyre, and neighboring Scottish islands in clear conditions.
