About Beinn Dubhchraig
Beinn Dubhchraig lies west of Crianlarich in the northern part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Ben Lui next door draws most of the attention, though Beinn Dubhchraig itself is clearly seen from the A82.
Its name means mountain of the black rock, a reference to the steep rocky face on the southwest slopes above Loch Oss, where scrambling lines lead to the top.
