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).

Meall a'Phubuill is a gently rounded hill overlooking the junction of Glen Loy and Gleann Suileag. The hill is shaped rather like a tadpole with its head to the W and its only ridge forming the tail to the E.
The path connecting Glen Loy to Gleann Suileag allows easy access along the whole length of the ridge. There are a few craggy regions but these are easily avoided.
