Yup. And actually applies to a range of peaks. The name of the actual peak people take photos of, including mine, is Stob Dearg.

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term "red" here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.

Great pic!
