Does anyone know how a crag away up a glen in the east of Scotland came to have a Spanish name?

The only connection I can think of is something to do with Spanish soldiers in the Jacobite rebellion, after whom Sgurr nan Spainteach in Glen Shiel is named.

In reply to Andy Moles:

There was a hunting lodge, Bachnagairn, at the top of the glen (the remains of it are still visible), and the crag is said to have been named after a Spanish guest.

I wonder what he did to have the honour, and why the name stuck?
