The Devil's Point, Mountain summit in Cairngorms, Scotland
The Devil's Point rises to 1004 meters above sea level, presenting a distinct pyramid shape at the southern entrance of the Lairig Ghru pass in Aberdeenshire.
Queen Victoria's ghillie John Brown changed the translation of the original Gaelic name during her visit to avoid mentioning its anatomical reference in Scottish culture.
The mountain's Gaelic name, Bod an Deamhain, reflects the local population's traditional practice of attributing supernatural characteristics to geographical features.
Hikers reach the summit through a path from Corrour Bothy, requiring a 12-kilometer approach walk from Linn of Dee through the Lairig Ghru pass.
The Devil's Point forms a geographical counterpart with The Angel's Peak, creating a narrative of opposing forces within the Cairngorms mountain range.
