Conical in shape, it rises to a height of 1050 feet above sea-level, and is crowned by a cairn, surmounted by a flagstaff. About 1744 it was planted to the very summit, which is gained by a carriage-drive, and commands a magnificent prospect- to Wick, 54 miles NNW; Buchan Ness, 43 miles ESE;Bennochie, 28 miles SSE; and Ben Wyvis, 65 miles W. Little Bin, 4¾ furlongs E by N, is 802 feet high. See pp. 311-322 of James Brown's Round Table Club (Elgin, 1873).
