From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm moving this slab of text from the article itself, prior to making it more like a Wikipedia stub.

Corrachadh Mor, Ardnamurchan peninsula, Highland, Scotland is the western point of the British mainland and not the Point of Ardnamurchan. Ordnance Survey 28 September 2004 "Corrachadh longitude is 06 13 36.900 and Ardnamurchan is 06 13 34.382". Corrachadh Mor Longitude 6 Degrees 13 Minutes 36.900 Seconds West, Point of Ardnamurchan Longitude 6 Degrees 13 Minutes 34.382 Seconds West. This indicates that Corrachadh Mor is approximately 43 metres further west than the Point of Ardnamurchan. The Geodetic (Map) Datum is probably OSGB36. Ordnance Survey 17 March 2004 "Corrachadh Mor" NM"(41388.5,66202.4) on the National Grid (6 Degrees 13.68 Minutes W, 56 Degrees 42.94 Minutes N)".

Corrachadh Mor is Scottish Gaelic for Great steep point. This is a rough translation. As I am no expert. It is 22 miles (36 kilometres) further west than Land's End.
