HAHA Love that name. Why did it get the name Rebecca's Arse anyway? Is it a shape of a hill or is there some story?
I have never seen a mention of a story and assume the well rounded upland may have reflected Becky's glory . Talking of arses the wheatear was originally white erse .Not far from Becky near Balmoral on Lochnagar is Cac Carn Mor = big shit cairn . And the Devils Point at the south of the Lairig Ghru was originally Bod an Deamhain = Demons penis . Keith Thomas had a great chapter about the loss of such names in one his books I'll have to dig it out .
