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.
