Morrone

Morrone ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Mór Bheinn ''or'' Mór Shròn)) is a Scottish hill immediately southwest of the village of Braemar in Aberdeenshire.
== Geography and topography ==
The hill reaches a height of 859 metres (2818 feet) and qualifies as a Corbett and a Marilyn, although with a topographic prominence of 155 metres,〔Wikipedia - List of Marilyns in Southern Highlands. Gives prominence as 155 metres.〕 it only just meets the prominence criterion for these categories. Morrone very much belongs to the village of Braemar from which it is usually climbed, and with a starting elevation of 330 metres, it is an easy ascent and a unique one, being the only significant mountain climb in Scotland to start from the centre of a village.〔"Climbing the Corbetts" Pages 150 (No mountain walk starts from a town).〕 Morrone is used for the Braemar Gathering hill race every September, and is a popular venue for paragliding and hang-gliding. The hill is occasionally referred to as Morven and it is given both names on Ordnance Survey maps, although Hamish Brown says ''I’ve never heard it called Morven.''〔"Climbing the Corbetts" Pages 150 (Never heard it called Morven).〕 In point of fact, the pronunciation of ''Morrone'' does not correspond closely with the pronunciation of ''Mór Shròn'', and the derivation of ''Morrone'' is a complex question. Watson and Allan come down on the side of ''Mór Bheinn''.〔"The Place Names of Upper Deeside" Page 118〕 Morrone is not to be confused with Morven, the highest point in Caithness, or with the local Morven, a mere to the northeast.
Morrone has a prominent profile, dominating the village of Braemar, and lives up to its name, which translates as ''Big Hill'' or ''Big Nose'', but the hill is otherwise undistinguished, having few topographical highlights. It has a long south ridge, continuing from its summit over undulating ground to link with the Munro of An Socach nine kilometres to the south. Its eastern flanks are drained by the Coldrach Burn and the Allt Coire na Sgreuchaig, both flowing into the Clunie Water to join the River Dee just north of Braemar. The northern and western slopes are drained by a series of streams running directly into the Dee as it passes to the north of the hill. Morrone has three named but unexceptional corries on its slopes, the Coire Allt a' Chlair to the west of the summit, the Coire nam Muc to the north and the Coire na Sgreuchaig on the north eastern slopes.
