Stob na Cruaiche

About Stob na Cruaiche

Stob na Cruaiche is a very isolated Grampian hill on the northern edge of Rannoch Moor, on the boundary between Highland and Perthshire. Rather than a single cone, it forms a long ridge enclosing much of the moor's northern side. Approaches run from Rannoch station or from Black Corries Lodge to the west.

Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is boulder next to cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
