Did You Know?
- •Derived from the Gaelic Creag Innis, the name most likely means 'Crag of the Meadow' or 'Crag of the Enclosure', referencing the grazing land found at its base near the head of Loch Ard.
- •To the west, the hill commands an excellent and uncrowded view of the Arrochar Alps, with the distinctive jagged silhouette of The Cobbler clearly visible on a crisp day.
- •The hill's position near the Highland Boundary Fault provides a clear visual transition between the flat carse of Stirling and the increasingly complex terrain of the southern Highlands.
- •Navigating the pathless final section ensures you will spend more time communing with the local heather and hidden bog-holes than with other walkers.
