Sgor an Lochain Uaine is the sharp peak between Cairn Toul and Braeriach, with a cairn and a boulder on its summit. Its name means 'peak of the little green loch', after the small lochan that sits in a corrie on its north-east side. It's better known as the Angel's Peak, a name said to have been given in the 19th century by Alexander Copland of the Cairngorm Club as a counterpart to the nearby Devil's Point. It was only promoted to a Munro in 1997.
