This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Mountain names are usually in Gaelic, the native language of the Scottish Highlands, or have been derived from the old Scots and Norse languages. We give the most commonly accepted meaning, but accept that some of these are disputed.

Ruadh Stac Mor is a very remote mountain with a craggy top NW of A' Mhaighdean . Ruadh Stac Mor is elongated NW to SE with only its NE slopes being a moderate incline and crag free. To all other points of the compass it has steep craggy or rocky slopes. Ruadh Stac Mor is connected to A' Mhaighdean by a high col (750m) and the normal ascent route is from the col weaving through the crags to the summit.

A' Maighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor
|
Long strenuous route to two remote craggy mountains. There are routes between the crags so the need for scrambling is reduced. Cycling will shorten the time, but still a very long day.

Me and sons came off the summit of A'Mhaighdean over the very stoney ground (tough going) as we got to the valley floor we looked at what appeared to be falling rock down a face, we all said "surely that's not the way"? So we set off along the path to the east, that came to an end, we came all the way back again and started to follow the path to the west as we couldn't believe the way up was over the fallen rocks!! As it turned out, there is a small cairn indicating this indeed is the way up...........take care especially in the wet!!
