Creag Dhubh

Rising to 592 metres above Ardcharnich in the Northern Highlands, this rugged summit overlooks the southern shores of Loch Broom. The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'black crag', aptly describing the darker rock outcrops that characterise its upper slopes. A modest but genuine hill climb with views across Wester Ross.

• •The name Creag Dhubh derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'black crag' or 'dark rocky outcrop' – a direct reference to the darker metamorphic rock visible on the upper reaches of the hill.
• •The hill stands on the southern side of Loch Broom, an inlet which has served as a natural harbour and travel route through this part of the Northwest Highlands for centuries.
• •As a Tump (a hill with at least 30 metres of prominence on all sides), Creag Dhubh offers genuinely independent character despite its modest height, rising distinctly from the surrounding landscape rather than merging into a larger massif.
