Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Druim' (ridge) and 'Còmhnard' (level or flat), a description that refers to the plateau-like nature of the summit area rather than the steep, arduous slopes required to reach it.
- •Located in the remote Ardgour peninsula, this hill is often bypassed by those heading for the more dramatic peaks like Garbh Bheinn, making it an ideal spot for walkers seeking solitude and a true sense of Highland wilderness.
- •The summit serves as an excellent vantage point for surveying the complex coastline of the Ardnamurchan peninsula and the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Small Isles on a clear day.
- •Despite the name suggesting a flat walk, anyone approaching from the Strontian side will find the initial ascent through the craggy lower slopes anything but level.
