SRòN

Sròn a Chorra Bhuilg, a typical Nose, above Creagbheiteachain in Glen Scaddle

'Sròn' is the Gaelic word for nose and is the name of some hills in the Scottish Highlands.
The name Sròn is often applied to the pointy hill or promontory that forms the edge of a mountain massive and that is indeed a bit "nose"-shaped.
As such, the Sròns are often not the highest hilltops; in fact only one of the 284 Munros is called Sròn: Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh ("the nose of the rough corrie"), located west of Loch Lochy.
Sròn also appears in names of towns (often anglicized as ''Stron''), such as Strontian (''Sròn an t-Sìtheinn''), the ''nose of the fairies'' (''Sìth''), and Stranraer, (''An t-Sròn Reamhar'') the ''fat nose''.
