Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Gaelic Creag Lùndaidh, meaning the 'crag of the marshy place'. This likely refers to the wet, low-lying ground surrounding Loch Lundie, which sits in a hollow immediately to the west of the summit.
- •From the top, walkers are treated to a clear perspective of the northern end of Loch Lochy and the Laggan Locks, a key point on the Caledonian Canal where the Great Glen's waters are regulated.
- •The hill is frequently approached using sections of the old military road near Invergarry, providing a firm-underfoot start before the terrain transitions into the typical pathless heather of the lower Highlands.
- •While the name promises a crag, the ascent is more of a persistent tussle with thick heather; it is the sort of hill that makes you appreciate why the local deer have such long legs.
