From the Wikipedia article
Beinn Udlamain is a Scottish mountain which stands just to the west of the summit of the Pass of Drumochter and east of Loch Ericht, some 30 km west-northwest of the village of Blair Atholl. The mountain’s summit stands on the border between the Highland and Perth and Kinross council areas.

Background
Description
At 1011 metres (3317 feet) Beinn Udlamain qualifies as a Munro, and with a high prominence, a Marilyn. It is the highest of the Drumochter hills, however it is not the most eye catching of the group, being flat topped and shielded from a clear view from the A9 road by the surrounding Munros of Sgairneach Mhòr and A' Mharconaich. The best view of the mountain can be obtained from the other hills around Coire Dhomhain. The most common interpretation of the mountain’s name from the Gaelic language is "Gloomy Mountain" which comes from the word Ùdlaidh which means gloomy but can also mean secluded. Other explanations of the name put forward by mountain writers are "hill of the unsteady place"…
