A' Chrois

This 570-metre summit in the Scottish Highlands sits north-east of Arrochar, though not to be confused with its much taller namesake on the Beinn Narnain ridge. A modest Dodd and Tump, it occupies quieter ground away from the popular Arrochar Alps, offering a less-travelled alternative in a busy hillwalking district.

• •The name A' Chrois comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'the cross', likely referring to a cross-shaped junction of ridges or valleys visible from certain viewpoints, or possibly marking an old boundary or route marker in the landscape.
• •This hill shares its name with the better-known 849-metre Corbett Top on the Beinn Narnain ridge two miles southwest, which can cause confusion when planning routes in the Arrochar area.
• •Its position near Glen Loin places it on the quieter eastern fringe of the Arrochar Alps, where walkers often find solitude compared to the crowds ascending The Cobbler or Beinn Narnain from Succoth.
