Crungie Dubh

A modest Dodd rising to 589 metres in the central Highlands, positioned north of Glen Artney. The name derives from Gaelic, with 'Crungie' likely indicating a rounded or knobbed summit and 'Dubh' meaning black or dark, possibly referencing the appearance of heather or peat on its slopes. The hill offers a quiet ascent away from more frequented summits.

• •The name Crungie Dubh combines Gaelic elements: 'dubh' meaning black or dark, commonly used in Highland place names to describe the appearance of vegetation or peat-covered ground, while 'Crungie' may relate to rounded or knobbed topography.
• •At 589 metres, the hill falls just short of the 600-metre threshold required for classification as a Simm, placing it instead among Scotland's lower hills.
• •The hill's location near Glen Artney positions it in historically significant country, where Rob Roy MacGregor and his clan operated in the early 18th century, using the network of remote glens and hills for refuge.
