It is known as a "Corbett." Corbetts are mountains in Scotland that are between 2,500 and 3,000 feet tall. The Fara is also a "Marilyn." This means it stands out clearly from the land around it. It has a "prominence" of at least 150 meters (about 492 feet). This makes it easy to spot from far away.
