Talk:Mount Brandon/Archive 1

November 2006. Mount Brandon or Brandon Mountain?
Which is it? I've only ever heard Brandon Mountain, but to my surprise a Google test suggests that Mount Brandon is more common. ("Brandon Mountain" -wikipedia = 815 hits; "Mount Brandon" -wikipedia = 19,800 hits.) Do locals call it one thing and outsiders another? Perhaps outsiders tend to call it Brandon Mountain, but Mount Brandon comes easier to native Irish speakers as it mirrors Sliabh Bhreandáin? Just an uninformed guess. --Blisco 18:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * "Mount Brandon" is what I have heard and what it is called on the Ordnance Survey website; however their printed map calls it "Brandon Mountain". This is also the name used in the Paddy Dillon's hiking guide. Both the printed map and book give the Irish name as "Cnoc Bréanainn" and not "Sliabh Bhreandáin". See:

Correct Height
The height is given at the Ordnance Survey website as 951 metres however their printed map gives the height as 952 metres. Given that the printed map is a more permanent record I am changing article to use that value.

height
i think you will find that 952 metres equates to 3127 feet-someone at wikipedia needs to be taught maths  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amazon543 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
