In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Black Mount like this:

Blackmount, a deer forest in the Appin district of Argyllshire, between the heads of Lochs Etive and Laidon. The property of Lord Breadalbane, it affords the finest shooting and stalking in Scotland, and in 1881 was sub-let to Sir Henry Alsopp for £4000.
