Beinn Dubhchraig
Beinn Dubhchraig (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Dubhchreig) 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. Its name means "mountain of the black rock", referring to the steep and rocky face on the southwest slopes above Loch Oss, which offer scrambling routes to the summit.
