=== Modern cultural references === The [[Schiehallion oilfield]] in the North Atlantic is named after the mountain.<ref>{{cite news| title=Conservation trust attacked for accepting oil giant's cash| url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4156/is_20000430/ai_n13948383/| publisher=[[Sunday Herald]]| date=30 April 2000| author=Rob Edwards| access-date=11 April 2009}}</ref> One of the major oilfields on Scotland's continental shelf, it is operated by BP and situated approximately {{convert|175|km|nmi|abbr=off|round=5}} west of the [[Shetland Mainland]]. Schiehallion was the setting for much of book two of [[Grant Morrison]]'s comic series ''[[Zenith (comics)|Zenith]]'', and also the electro-magnetic prison for the ''Chimera'' creature which would play a major part in subsequent books. The [[Harviestoun Brewery]] produce a [[Cask ale|cask-conditioned]] [[lager]] called Schiehallion. A [[Scottish country dance]] ("Schiehallion") and figure, the Schiehallion Reel, are both named after the mountain. The song "Schiehallion" was featured on the 1994 album ''Time For A New Day'' by the [[independent band]] King Rizla. Pipe Major [[Donald Shaw Ramsay]] composed a 3/4 march entitled "Schiehallion". The England-based band "Schiehallion Pipes and Drums" (named for the Munro) led by Drum Major Jim (Jaimie) Gibb, has adopted the march as their signature tune. It is the lead-in tune on their album ''Hail! Schiehallion.'' The Anglo-Cypriot [[power metal]] band [[Gloryhammer]] mentions Schiehallion in the song "The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny" on the album ''[[Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex]]'' and refers to the popular misconception that mountain is a volcano.<ref>{{Citation|title=Gloryhammer β The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny|url=https://genius.com/Gloryhammer-the-fires-of-ancient-cosmic-destiny-lyrics|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>
