About The Devil's Point
The Devil's Point, known in its original Gaelic as Bod an Deamhain (which translates to "Penis of the Demon"), stands as a stark, rocky pyramid that vigilantly oversees the southern entrance to the Lairig Ghru. This imposing peak, with its rugged and bare slopes, serves as a formidable sentinel. When approached from other directions, its role as the southernmost extension of the Cairn Toul massif becomes more evident, revealing its true geological character and significance within the landscape. The Devil's Point is not just a striking feature in the terrain but also a key landmark for those venturing into this wild and remote part of the Scottish Highlands.
