Beinn Dubhchraig
Mountain in Scotland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beinn Dubhchraig (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Dubhchreig)[2] is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands, west of Crianlarich in the northern part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It is a Munro with a height of 978 metres (3,209 ft). It is overshadowed by its neighbour Ben Lui, although it is well seen from the main A82 road.[3] Its name means "mountain of the black rock",[4] referring to the steep and rocky face on the southwest slopes above Loch Oss, which offer scrambling routes to the summit.[5]
