Cruach Bhuidhe

This 599-metre Dodd stands in the western Highlands, its Gaelic name translating as 'yellow stack' or 'yellow pile', likely describing the hill's golden grasses or lichen-coloured rock. The summit offers views across Loch Linnhe towards the Ardgour peninsula, with a straightforward ascent rewarding walkers with a sense of remoteness without technical difficulty.

• •The name Cruach Bhuidhe comes from Scottish Gaelic, where 'cruach' means a stack, pile, or steep hill, and 'buidhe' means yellow – probably referring to the hill's appearance when covered in autumn grasses or pale lichen-covered rock.
• •At 599 metres, this summit falls just short of the 610-metre threshold needed for Corbett status, placing it instead among Scotland's lower but often quieter hills.
• •The grid reference places this hill in the Morvern or Sunart area of the western Highlands, a region known for its emptiness and long approach walks through ancient oakwoods and deer-stalking country.
