Folklore
| The mountain features in a traditional song called 'Tibbie Fowler': Be a lassie e'er sae black Gin she hae the penny siller, Set her up on Tintock tap, The wind will blaw a man till her. Be a lassie e'er so fair, An she want the penny siller, A flie may fell her in the air, Before a man be even'd till her. (I hope a Scottish person can explain this?! Is it about only being marriageable if you're rich?? Is 'siller' silver?) |

| Aye, siller means silver. Dark-haired lassies with money are more successful in love than poor blondes appears to be the gist of it! |
